Hi Heerappa,
I will try to answer to your queries...answers are inline .
Thanks for the reply and information, well i wanted to know that how
can i
see the source code of linux when iam working on linux being in the
root,
what pathname name should i type to get to the source code file of
linux.
the source code will be in the path /usr/src/linux/
2. if i have the device driver module's source code written for
perticular
device than where should i store it, so that it will support to my
device
whenever any user seeks it.
you can put your driver's code in the path /usr/src/linux/drivers/
3. During installation of linux, what if i assign the swapping space4
times
of my present memory size OR less than the present memory size. I
mean will
it have any problems in system performance in both the cases.
if your swap sapce is more means your system may put good performance at
high loads
the vice versa also holds good i think...
4. what command should i type to know the version of my present OS.
uname -a
Regds,
Babu
Please Suggest me
Thanks n Regards
Heerappa

This is a bit too general to answer at all.

Buffers are in RAM, swap is on-disk.
