hi, im just wondering if any one has any links to good article/forum threads/whatever elses on what exactly it does, i know little about the actual kernel but want to learn of course, ive been looking at some from google but if you guys have better ones im all ears
Wow, I'm becoming popular... I don't know how in depth your knowledge is, or how much access you have to a Linux system, but here's how I found my way through (roughly): I started @ Wiki... Great site, altough not in depth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel That sparked my intrest, but wasn't enough. Then I went over to the Linux side project, The Linux Documentation Project, a project which only purpose is to document Linux. Nowadays, I just try to understand the source (located in /usr/linux on my Gentoo workstation, or available at kernel.org) for specific knowledge. Also, a good knowledge place is the kernel.org mailing list, and dev mailing list (however, expect > 300 mails / hour so pick some subjects on which you want to gather knowledge). Hope that helps.
ok ive read what was on the wikipeida page, and a couple thou googleing, as for linux access pretty much whenever im at a pc (excluding the tech computers, but i have my laptop then anyway). i think i had a look at tldp but they seemed rather outdated but then again for what im wanting probly wouldnt make much of a difference. 300 emails an hour i dont think i could handle that lol
It's only 8 to 11 thousand mails a day... But you can read them online too: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel or http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/ But really, the best place of information (once you have dug through the outer 'shell') is the source code itself
