Useful appendices :-)

I have been reading this book, an excellent book on linux: Wolfgang Mauerer. Linux Kernelarchitektur Konzepte, Strukturen und Algorithmen von Kernel 2.6, Hanser 2004. ISBN 3-446-22566-8 Some of the information I write from this blog have been largely adapted or influenced through the reading of the book. A very useful thing is also, that the book has a web site, with PDF version of the appendices which are not in the book. It is a bit strange but still extremely useful. The book is in german, therefore it will not be useful for everybody.

• remarks on C
• booting of the linux kernel
• ELF binary format
• architectures specific topics
• links on how to work with the source code

There is also a list of useful Documentation links: http://www.linux-kernel.de/docs/index.html. In particular:

• Online Documents about Kernel
• important RFCs (TCP/IP..., Differentiated Services fields)
• GNU tool information
• ELF format
• important documentation from the kernel

So I've got to say this is really a wonderful book on linux. I just happened to learn from the author that he is writing a new, more current version of the book.
