Kernel Projects for Linux by Gary Nutt

by Gary Nutt

This is a lab manual that provides a dozen specific lab exercises on Linux internals, illustrating how theoretical Operating System concepts are implemented in Linux. Part I presents an overview of the Linux kernel and how it handles key OS concepts such runtime organization and process, file, and device management. Part II presents a series of twelve progressively more difficult exercises that can be completed in a lab environment. This book can be used in conjunction with any core operating systems textbook, and is also available in a special academic package with Operating A Modern Approach that includes a free copy of Red Hat Linux.
