I am basically a Sys Admin for Linux with bash programming and configuring and setting up Linux Server including network services like BIND DNS,Apache etc... Although i do not know C and ASM Language, I am very much eager to start learning Linux Kernel Code and contribute to linux kernel codebase sometimes down the line. Please guide/suggest me. Regards, Kaushal If you don't know C, you'll probably will want to start with a C tutorial. You can skip learning assembly languages for now, there is very little of it in the kernel sources and it varies a lot from processor to processor, but you'll need to understand C very well in order to really understand the kernel.
