Hi, I'm trying to lean linux kernel dev. I bought Robert's love book : "Linux Kernel develpment"
This book is based on the linux version 2.6. I can see in the kernel.org site that the latest stable version of ther kernel is 3.9.9.
So my question is : what is the most efficient way to learn from this book ? 1) Download the 2.6 version and follow the examples and explanations based from this version 2) Download the 3.9.9 version and try to adapt the examples and explanations of the book. 3) Download both so that I can see the differences.
Any other idea or suggestion is very welcomed.
Hi,
It's also worth to mention...
"On 21 July 2011 Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux 3.0: "Gone are the 2.6.<bignum> days". The version bump is not about major technological changes when compared to Linux 2.6.39; it marks the kernel's 20th anniversary. The time-based release process remained the same."
