How the Linux kernel works
The folks over at TuxRadar (the website from the publishers of Linux Format, a great Linux magazine from the UK) have a great post titled “How the Linux kernel works” that gives a nice overview of the kernel. The article briefly goes over using system programming libraries, managing kernel modules, and using the /proc filesystem to tune the kernel. I’ve always enjoyed the articles from the TuxRadar / Linux Format folks and this is another great one that I highly recommend.
