Just a suggestion: I believe I'm in the same boat as yourself - trying to learn about the Linux Kernel. I've been perusing the source code as well, but what I realized I was lacking was an understanding of Operating Systems in general. So another option to consider - it's certainly helping me - is to pickup an introductory OS textbook and work your way through that while you look at the Linux source code. gl & hf -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
