= 2. = On- and off-line resources

    If you think something should be listed here, please send an e-mail
    to the current list maintainer (<URL:mailto:kernelfaq@iconsult.com>).
    Resources will be listed in "URL embedded in text file" syntax to
    ease transition to these resources.

= 2.1. = Kernel resources

= 2.1.1. = The Linux Kernel HOWTO - How to compile a kernel

    You definitley ought to look at this unless you can cite every
    line of the kernel Makefile from memory.

    This document describes how to obtain, unpack, compile and install
    a new kernel and shows some of the pitfalls that lurk on the road
    of upgrading.

    <URL:http://www.caldera.com/LDP/Kernel-HOWTO.html>
    <URL:http://sunsite.unc-edu/LDP/Kernel-HOWTO.html>

    If you are looking for all the other HOWTOS and mini-HOWTOS just
    check out LDP itself:

    <URL:http://www.caldera.com/LDP/>
    <URL:http://sunsite.unc-edu/LDP/>

= 2.1.2. = Linux v2 Information HQ

    <URL:http://www.linuxhq.com>

    A very useful site that lists Linux V2 information including, but
    not limited to, "what's new", "how to upgrade", source code,
    official and unofficial kernel patches for V2.0 and V2.1 and
    archives of the Linux mailing lists. Two thumbs up.

    Please note that this was known as <URL:http://www.ecsnet.com> for
    some time, and while the latter URL will continue to be vaild for
    a while, it will eventually go away; it might be wise to update
    bookmarks to reflect the new location.

= 2.1.3. = The kernel hackers guide

    <URL:http://www.redhat.com:8080/HyperNews/get/khg.html>

    Once upon a time it was a paper document but due to the 'moving
    target' nature of a constantly developed kernel it is now
    completely web-based, using a hyper-news system so users can
    add input.

= 2.1.4 = Mailing lists

    As mentioned above, there are a number of more specialised Linux
    mailing lists.  Many of these are run from vger.rutgers.edu.  To
    get a listing of those running at vger, send an e-mail to
    <URL:mailto:majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu>, containing the single
    word "lists".  Some of the lists are mentioned in the MAINTAINERS
    file in the Linux source code.

    A lot of mailing lists are archived at the Linux v2 Information HQ
    <URL:http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists>.

    Having a close look at the linux-admin list would be
    worthwile. Many of the off-topic questions on linux-kernel are
    appropriate for linux-admin and the latter list seems to be pretty
    well behaved.  The admin list is approaching the amount of traffic
    on the kernel list.

= 2.1.5. = Writing device drivers

    <URL:http://www.redhat.com/~johnsonm/devices.html>

    A paper of a talk by Michael K. Johnson given at Spring DECUS'95.
    According to the author this is probably a bit dated but might be
    still worth reading.

= 2.1.6. = The Linux Wish List

    <URL:http://www.cs.uml.edu/~acahalan/linux/wishlist.html>

    The Linux Wish List, compiled from the contents of the kernel
    mailing list.  Check this before posting enhancement requests to
    the mailing list or to get some inspiration for your kernel
    project.

= 2.1.7. = Periodicals

    - Linux Journal

      <URL:http://www.ssc.com/lj/>

      Linux Journal has had a long-running series of articles called
      Kernel Korner which, has had quite a bit useful information in
      it.  Four articles on writing runtime-loadable character device
      drivers in issues 23 - 26 have been made available on Linux
      Journal's WWW Site:

      <URL:http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue23/1219.html>
      <URL:http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue24/kk24.html>
      <URL:http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue25/kk25.html>
      <URL:http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue26/interrupt.html>

= 2.1.8. = Books

    There aren't any book reviews in this section, just pointers to
    those.  First you might want to look at Cameron McKinnon's article
    on geting started with kernel development, which also mentions
    some books.

    The next place to stop is the Linux Reading List Mini-HOWTO, which
    although being a bit dated list a lot of the books useful to
    kernel programmers:

    <URL:http://www.caldera.com/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Reading-List>
    <URL:http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Reading-List>

= 2.2. = Other points of interest

= 2.2.1. = The Linux Home Page

    <URL:http://www.linux.org>

    A very good starting point for the new and old Linux user.  It
    contains many starting points including information on the history
    and creation of Linux, FAQ's and HOWTO's, Linux Software Map,
    Manual Pages, Usenet Newsgroups, Where To Get Linux, Linux
    Documentation Map, Linux International, Linux On The World Wide
    Web, Hot Linux News, Linux Gazette, and Linux Journal.

= 2.2.2. = The Linux documentation project

    The Linux documentation project:

        <URL:http://www.caldera.com/LDP>
        <URL:http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP>

        The LDP contains _loads_ of Linux documentation, including, but
        not limited to the HOWTOS, FAQs, manpages and various guides.

= 2.2.3. = The Linux Software Map

        There are a few different web frontends for the Linux Software Map:

        <URL:http://www.ssc.com/linux/lsm.html>
        <URL:http://www.ngs.fi/lsm>
        <URL:http://www.boutell.com/lsm>

        If you prefer downloading the whole database and browsing it
        offline get it at:

        <URL:ftp://ftp.execpc.com/pub/lsm/>

= 2.2.4. = IRC

    There is said to be online support on IRC, namely servers
    irc.linpeople.org (207.16.36.11) or vinge.linpeople.org. Look for
    the channels #help or #natter.

    Also irc.blackdown.org is a good place for advanced topics and
    kernel hackers.

    An IRC client is required to connect to the many IRC networks
    available on the Internet. A goot place to find IRC clients is:

    <URL:ftp://cs-pub.bu.edu/pub/irc/clients>

= 2.2.5. = Linux news groups

    <URL:news:comp.os.linux.announce>
