The book that gave me the most assistance, was "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" by John L. Hennessy, David A. Patterson, David Goldberg. This book goes into complete, excruciating detail of how the CPU, memory management etc functions at the transistor, logic gate, clocking and register level. Far more detail than you might think you need. But I found after I had read through its 400 - 500 pages, even if I only retained about 20%, huge mysteries had been solved and many kernel questions had become trivial. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
