This is work in progress. At the Linux Kongress in Berlin I was asked
|
|
about the possibility of a book about Linux and I foolishly agreed to
|
|
think about it. This latex/xfig source tree is the result of that
|
|
thinking. There are a few things to note:
|
|
|
|
(1) This is GNU copyleft'd work that I intend "donating" to the Linux
|
|
Documentation Project (it may also be published seperately),
|
|
|
|
(2) This is not the Kernel Hacker's Guide. It is intended to be
|
|
read (and understood) by people who use Linux and would like to
|
|
understand how the operating system works. A good example would be
|
|
someone who can set up a swap file but doesn't understand how Linux
|
|
swaps (read chapter 3),
|
|
|
|
(3) It is not a Linux Internals document. I've tried to make it
|
|
pretty generic, although the data structure definitions are perhaps
|
|
less generic than I like.
|
|
|
|
(4) The name ("The Linux Kernel") is a working title only, maybe I lack
|
|
imagination but I can't yet think of what it should be called.
