BTW, you can find an online version of "Professional Linux Kernel...." book from this location...
<http://www.funkytype.com/ebooks-magazine/ebooks%10magazine/professional-linux-kernel-architecture,-wrox-ebook-200812113073/> to take a look around at the content. :)

Here a snippet from Chapter 1 (introduction) :
"
When the first edition of this book was written, a schedule for kernel releases was more or less nonexistent.
This has changed drastically during the development of kernel 2.6, and as I discuss in Appendix F,
kernel developers have become pretty good at issuing new releases at periodic, predictable intervals. I
have focused on kernel 2.6.24, but have also included some references to 2.6.25 and 2.6.26, which were
released after this book was written but before all technical publishing steps had been completed. Since a
number of comprehensive changes to the whole kernel have been merged into 2.6.24, picking this release
as the target seems a good choice. While a detail here or there will have changed in more recent kernel
versions as compared to the code discussed in this book, the big picture will remain the same for quite
some time. "
So I guess it does cover 2.6 series. References also refer to 'Understanding Linux Kernel 3rd Ed", so maybe you guys need to check.On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 6:50 AM, Pedro Roure Malta de Sa <pedrorouremalta@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I agree. But I'm only asking this because the table of contents of the book has the following item:This is the source of my doubt. If the book covers the 2.6 kernel series, why the above item is in the table of contents ? At amazon.com page ( in Production Description ) there is nothing about what kernel series the book covers and since there is no customers reviews yet, I'm still in doubt about what kernel series the book covers.
"1.2 Source Code Organization for Linux 2.4.20"

if it was based on the 2.4 kernel.
