It starts out at a level that's easy enough, even if you have almost no experience working with a unix kernel, but it goes very deep into the kernel internals until you really havea very good understanding of the system. It's somewhat old, but it's still totally relevent, so don't be put off just by the age. -Jason -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freud himself was a bit of a cold fish, and one cannot avoid the suspicion that he was insufficiently fondled when he was an infant. -- Ashley Montagu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQFAFAeeswXMWWtptckRAmSmAJ9Ew3ErCupGH8SblefQDisRH1CR4wCeMD/a Qlbk7twyidgbqa4+ai0453w= =z9EM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
