Rating: This is the first book that really covers Linux internals such as buffer cache/page cache interactions. It is easy to read but provides a good level of details to experienced developers. It covers the whole kernel except networking. If you are interested in memory management, process management and scheduling, file systems or interrupt processing and bottom halves, this book is a must! It is based on the 2.2.14 kernel. Each chapter has an outlook to 2.4.x. It does not cover other platforms than the x86. This makes it easier to read and understand, a outlook to other platforms would be useful however.
