Linux For Newbies

EBook Description: his book might be really useful, especially if combined with Installing Linux. There's a lot of info on the net about Linux, but it's hard to find a complete, well written, easy to understand guide for people who are new to the whole Linux (free software, open source, etc.) phenomenon and are curious about (trying) it. Having a guide like this, containing info newbies want to hear, would make it less likely that they would get scared away by the enormous pile of complicated stuff they find elsewhere. I might have some time to write a startup, but I imagine there are a lot of people around here who could contribute to this. Stuff that should be in it (just some brainstorming).(research before trying it)

This book is an open source attempt at discussing how to create a Linux computer system by starting with a blank hard disk and assembling all the 'parts' needed for a Linux distribution such as Debian, Fedora core, or Slackware. If you do not know what Linux is, STOP. This book will make you more confused. This is not intended to be a newbie guide nor an installation manual. It is more of a map on discussing all the aspects of a real world attempt to create a Linux-controlled computer, specifically an x86 computer, as this is what the original kernel was written for. There are thousands of tutorials on how to create Linux, even a website dedicated to this very topic

Linux Kernel Drivers Annotated

There has been lot of articles/books written on how to write device drivers for the Linux kernel. The problem is that these books do not point to real sources in the Linux kernel. We try to address that by explaining some easy to understand Linux kernel drivers in this book

The first section of the Handbook will guide the new user through the installation of Slackware Linux and gently introduces the concepts and conventions that underpin the OS. Working through this section requires little more than the desire to learn and the fortitude to attempt an installation.

Linux Kernel 2.4 Internals

This guide is now part of the Linux Documentation Project

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide

The Linux Programmer's Guide is meant to do what the name implies- It is to help Linux programmers understand the peculiarities of Linux. By its nature, this also means that it should be useful when porting programs from other operating systems to Linux. It covers the following topics : The Linux operating system, The Linux kernel, The Linux libc package, System calls

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide

What exactly is a kernel module? Modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel without the need to reboot the system. For example, one type of module is the device driver, which allows the kernel to access hardware connected to the system. Without modules, we would have to build monolithic kernels and add new functionality directly into the kernel image. Besides having larger kernels, this has the disadvantage of requiring us to rebuild and reboot the kernel every time we want new functionality.

The Linux Kernel

This book is for Linux enthusiasts who want to know how the Linux kernel works. It is not an internals manual. Rather it describes the principles and mechanisms that Linux uses; how and why the Linux kernel works the way that it does. Linux is a moving target; this book is based upon the current stable 2.0.33 sources as those are what most individuals and companies are now using

Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Second Edition

The Internet is now a household term in many countries. With otherwise serious people beginning to joyride along the Information Superhighway, computer networking seems to be moving toward the status of TV sets and microwave ovens. The Internet has unusually high media coverage, and social science majors are descending on Usenet newsgroups, online virtual reality environments, and the Web to conduct research on the new �Internet Culture.�
