Rating: I liked the book and it presented a useful model of the Linux Kernel well. As many others have pointed out, there have been many changes to the Kernel versions after 2.1 and the book's source code examples are mostly for version 2.0. If you are using this book with a 2.2 or later kernel (Redhat's version 7 binary is version 2.2 and the source is 2.4), be sure to read "Chapter 17 Recent Development's" BEFORE you try the code examples in Chapter 2. It will save you alot of time trying to find the 2.0 kernel features such as the symtab_begin.h and symtab_end.h header files.
