Book review: The Linux® Kernel Primer: A Top-Down Approach for x86 and PowerPC Architectures
The Linux Kernel Primer is a top down, C biased, project orientated story of how the Linux kernel works. With a little knowledge of C and a rough understanding of Linux basics, this book will lead you to a clear understanding of the kernel.
Linux is commercially a very interesting product to understand. How many computers run Linux? If you count cameras, routers, DVD players etc., I would not be surprised if the number was over the 100,000,000 mark. Despite the intuitively obvious demand, you can count good books in this category on one hand. The authors Claudia Salzbeg Rodriguez, Gordon Fischer and Steven Smolski are developers with a clear wealth of experience and luckily for us all, this translates to a very readable and embracing story. Yet another fine addition to the Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series.
My first impression of the book was “Wow! I did not know that”.
