Linux source code resources

Question

Look for resources that can help get your Linux code “in”. Failed to get much help on Google. I have no problem with the distribution covered by the book / resource, but I would like Fedora to be the base. In addition, it would be great if the resource was well maintained and updated.

Answer 1

this looks promising:

Please note that you will need to familiarize yourself with the concepts of operating systems in order to understand the concepts of memory allocation, how processes are planned and what has not yet been done. In addition, the linux kernel code is monstrously complex.

You are performing a difficult task. But enjoy it. You might want to start with a small device driver code.

Answer 2

http://www.makelinux.net/kernel_map might be a good place to start. Clickable map that will lead you to the part of the source that you clicked. It is read in the browser.

Answer 3

If you are trying to understand the source code of the Linux kernel, then the exact distribution you are using is not very appropriate.

I would recommend a book from Robert Love: Linux Kernel Development , currently in its third release. This will give you an understanding of the core parts of the kernel.

Answer 4

If you're talking about the Linux kernel, the newbies kernel is absolutely awesome. Also, I don't think they recommend a single resource.
