Stuff like the scheduler, memory management, network code, driver core etc is usually more interresting to look at. > Please give these information for me to start. > > I am quite comfortable with the applications in linux.

If you're new to design of operating systems, probably it'd be better to start with something simple like minix. The book "Operating Systems Design and Implementation" by AST/ASW would be a nice place to start. Thank You, Jinesh. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
