Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am a decent C programmer (learning C++) who is very interested in learning my way around FreeBSD. I am interested in learning how the OS works, so that I can start to hack in my spare (hah!) time. I have several ideas for device drivers, and wouldn't mind porting FreeBSD to an Alpha (hahahha!) I have will, determination, and am pretty quick to learn. Can anyone recommend any books or the like that will help me on my journey? I realize it will be a _WHILE_ before I can achieve any of my aforementioned goals, but a man can dream...
