Alejandro,
I too am reading this book and I can recommend the 3rd edition - it's
very well written (maybe not as much as Robert Love's Kernel Development
book though ;)). The O'Reilly site contains the book examples for the
3rd edition so perhaps you could just download those examples and where
the book refferences examples go to the new versions and look at the
PDFs someone else mentioned if there's 2.6 specific things in there you
don't understand.
But getting your hands on a 3rd edition book will be beneficial I'd say.
Anyway, back to reading that book for me!
