We're getting OT so preferably mail me directly rather than on-list if |
| 12 |
you wish to continue this, but briefly... |

I've found the kernel coverage at Linux Weekly News, http://lwn.net , |
| 15 |
very useful. There's stuff from beginner [1] up thru at least |
| 16 |
intermediate level and it's a well respected and oft quoted source, plus |
| 17 |
Jon Corbet, the primary editor, gets to (and covers) most of the various |
| 18 |
kernel related conferences as well. He has a book out on Linux kernel |
| 19 |
2.6 drivers, as well. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
There's also kernel newbies and other resources, but you'll find lots of |
| 22 |
links to follow at LWN and can go from there. |

[1] As in I don't claim to do C code in userspace, let alone kernel, but |
| 26 |
can follow this coverage. I do run the RCs and am starting into running |
| 27 |
the linus git master branch, after filing and git bisecting several bugs, |
| 28 |
so I'm progressing... |
