From the Author
I have written Kernel Projects for Linux as a textbook to be used in the classroom (it is NOT a self-help reference book). Linux is an exciting OS because of its open source policy, resulting rapid development, and importance in the commercial world. This book is intended to introduce the Version 2.2.12 kernel to undergraduate students who may have only a year of programming experience, and who have not previously seen kernel code. The book begins with a 50-page overview of the kernel. The second part of the book is a dozen programming problems with graduated difficulty. Choosing problems in the Linux environment is especially difficult since most desirable additions or modifications have already been done. Each problem has an explanation of relevant concepts the student will need to solve the problem, and some hints about how to solve the problem. As an applied software book, the explanations and examples are bound to meet the disapproval of some readers ! -- have you ever seen a program or documentation that everyone thought was wonderful? Even so, the reviewers (instructors at very well-respected universities) and my students have found the book to be accurate and useful. Since it is a textbook rather than a technical reference book, its value would be greatly diluted by publishing the solutions to the dozen exercises, therefore (as is traditional in the textbook market) the publisher and I agreed to only distribute solutions to instructors -- sorry.
