  • The Linux Kernel, version 0.8-3 by David A. Rusling - This book is for Linux enthusiasts who want to know how the Linux kernel works. It is not an internals manual. Rather it describes the principles and mechanisms that Linux uses; how and why the Linux kernel works the way that it does. Linux is a moving target; this book is based upon the current, stable, 2.0.33 sources as those are what most individuals and companies are now using.

  • The Linux Maintenance Project - The Linux maintenance project is chartered with the task of maintaining the 2.0 Linux distribution code while other people work on the 2.1 development kernel series. The remit of the project is solely to fix bugs and add new drivers where those drivers do not affect other parts of the code and are clearly needed.
