Summary: SUPERB!!
Review: In one word - EXCELLENT!!!I bought this book to fulfill my desire of knowing how does an
OS work and what happens under the hood. I am happy to say
this book served the purpose extremely well. In addition, now I better understand all the necessary details of IA-64 architecture. This book not only answers 'how is it done' but also gives a precise 'why' to every 'how'. Right from the
print quality to the content everything is just wonderful. I
still enjoy repeatedly reading the Virtual Memory chapter. I cannot explain to you what is the joy of getting all your
questions answered, to get all your doubts cleared! Nothing
short of enlightenment!! I hope to contribute to OpenSource
with my newly acquired knowledge in any way possible - This
book is certainly an inspiration.

Summary: searchable index
Review: Not only it this a fine book, the book mentions the website: www.lia64.org/book which has a book search feature. This is sooo much more powerful than a printed index. I wish ALL books had a site like this so they can be electronically searched!

Summary: Excellent book on linux internals
Review: This is a terrific text, that simultaneously throws light on the arcane of the IA64 architecture and the Linux kernel. I just wish this book had been available when I started messing around with low-level IA64 stuff.

Summary: A must have book
Review: This is THE very best book on Linux Kernel in general. Without refering any piece of kernel code, it explains very neatly not only the Linux kernel architecture in detail but also the most advanced features of IA64 CPU giving simple examples. This book will definitely move you one step forward to face the challenges in dealing with Linux kernel.
