So you want to learn a new programming language (C), a new operating system (Linux) and dive into kernel development as well, all at the same time - that's no small task :) As for the C language bit, starting with K&R's "The C programming language, second edition" is not a bad place to start. http://www.amazon.co.uk/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/0131103628/sr=8-1/qid=1171463251/ref=pd_ka_1/203-7856448-7676754?ie=UTF8&s=books As for the linux kernel, "Linux Kernel Development, second edition"by Robert Love is a good introduction that gives a good overview of most aspects of the kernel. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linux-Kernel-Development-Novell-Press/dp/0672327201/sr=1-1/qid=1171463315/ref=sr_1_1/203-7856448-7676754?ie=UTF8&s=books You probably also want to read the file Documentation/HOWTO in the Linux kernel source dir (as well as all the files it refers you to - an online copy can be read here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/HOWTO And probably also won't hurt you to read "Linux in a Nutshell" by Ellen Siever, Aaron Weber & Stephen Figgins if you want a good general Linux reference. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linux-Nutshell-OReilly-Ellen-Siever/dp/0596009305/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b/203-7856448-7676754 -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
