Summary: Excellent Read
Review: There is only 1 reason that I didn't give this book a 5 star rating. I found the memory management a bit below par. But that's probably because the initial chapters up the bar so high that the last few fail to live up to those high standards. The chapter on Scheduling is phenomenal - easily the best! Maybe even that is an understatement. An added "advantage" is that this book is on kernel 2.6. If you're entering the realm of kernel hacking, my recommendation is, read this first, Linux device Drivers by Rubini next, and then Understanding the Linux Kernel by Bovet and Cesati. What next? The source - that's where you'll get all the answers. :)

Summary: Amazing book
Review: This book dives into the structure of the kernel and how it works in great details. It doesn't lose you in technicalities like some books, instead Robert Love keeps it as close to simple english as possible and tries to make it very easy to read.
I've never read a book that taught me so much about the kernel's inner workings in just the first 3 chapters. I've now read about half of them and will probably finish it today. This book is truly amazing.

Summary: Great technical book
Review: This is a very easy introduction to hacking on the linux kernel,
there is not much discussion about design choices, but it explains
how the kernel work, how to program on it and what things one need to look out for. The book is readable for both newbies and uber kernel hackers and
through out the book Robert has a great sense of humor that most
other technical books does not have. Highly recomended read.
