Getting Deep Inside the Linux Code

PDG asks: "I've been using Linux for several years now and find myself wanting desperately to get involved with its source code, development, and future. Fine, I've compiled a million kernels and other binaries but don't know the first place to start when trying to understand what the hell half the libraries and header files are doing, let alone dealing with the C code itself (yes, I know C fine). Are there any resources or Web sites out there which may help me in my journey to be a Linux Code Jockey?"

There is a funny little site called the Linux Documentation Project

It contains fun Guides that cover topics like:

• The Linux Kernel
• The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
• The Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide

I do not know enough kernel stuff to know if they are usefull or current but maybe they'll be helpful.
