Why stop at only one copy? :-) [ see the book website's humour ] I think the discussion of the device model and sysfs probably justifies purchasing this edition. Here's what I just said in issue 47 of http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/: Robert Love released a new edition of "Linux Kernel Development", revised and updated for kernels up to and including 2.6.10. This edition is published by his new employer, Novell, and now includes additional chapters on "Getting Started with the Kernel", "Modules", and also the Kernel Events layer "kobjects and sysfs" that Robert has helped work on. All in all, this promises to be a very interesting read and worthy of a place on the reader's bookshelf - unfortunately this title is not yet available in electronic form and has yet to become widely available in European countries (we'll do a review just as soon as we can get hold of it!). In the words of the books' author: ``You should buy a copy or two and carry them with you everywhere you go''. Jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
