Me too, I brought to India for random reading when it's too hot. Most of the recent books covering the 2.6 kernel series are based upon 2.6.10 because it's the version which culminated lots of ongoing work at the tail end of last year and came just in time for the frantic "must write faster" holiday seasion. UTLK probably will be focusing on something similar since (as LWN will show) the major API changes are relatively small and we've shifted to a new release model that might result in more frequent versions now anyway so it'll all be a bit screwd if you guage on release. > But it's at more abstract level, not like UTLK. UTLK is a good book historically, but it's /far/ too Intel weenie ish and not all round enough really. It's also not too specific to a kernel release since it focuses on concepts - obviously they'll need to redo the diagram in Chapter 1 (is it chapter 1?) for 4 level page tables and rewrite some other chunks for generic 2.6 but other than that I think the LDD3 gang are the ones actually most affected by changing APIs. Core kernel doesn't change every day of the week now.
