try to start with oomkill.c, it is suggested (by Rik himself) as the 
easiest part to be studied :)

IMHO, reading 2.4.x codes is still worth to do. Even later you'll find 
out the facts is no longer correct in 2.6.x, you still got the big 
picture since usually the "design" is still similar. So, make up your 
mind, pick certain version and dig into it. You'll get the true Penguin 
Power later :))
