Its a clear and well written book -- but I'm not sure what they're commenting on!!


It supposed to cover 2.6.10 -- but the code snippets don't match.


Often they rewrite the code (I don't know why -- my requests for explanation went unanswered).


This also happened in the 2nd edition.


Most of the time the actual kernel code is clearer than the refactored algorithms they present (which are presented as code snippets, not algorithms).
