 An operating systems book focused on Linux November 18, 2008
This book explains basic operating systems concepts and then describes how this concepts are implemented in Linux.
The text covers most of kernel architecture and there is a detailed description of the main Linux Kernel data structures and algorithms.
The book can be understood by any technical professional/student with some C language skills.
I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Linux Kernel or operating systems in general.

Linux Kernel Development (2nd Edition) is a great book. It is written in as easy a style as possible for a topic as technical as the internal details of the Linux kernel. If you are someone with some programming experience who wants to learn how the Linux kernel works, this is a great place to start.
The book goes into good detail for pretty much all of the main tasks the kernel performs. It includes simple code examples, with easy to understand explanations. If you need a book that goes line by line through the kernel... this is not for you. But, if you need a book that explains the basics thoroughly, but doesn't bore you to death with detail after detail, then buy this book already.
Note: This book covers up to 2.6.10, which is starting to get a bit old. 2.6.26 is current as of this review, so some of this info is out of date, but still is helpful.
Perfect Book May 21, 2007

I heartily recommend this book to anyone doing Linux Kernel or Kernel module development. Although the Modules chapter could be expanded upon, the rest of the book gives excellent insight into the workings of the 2.6 Kernel. Also, the three appendices provide good examples and additional information. This book has provided invaluable information for completing and documenting a complex project I've been working on.
