Free Book - Linux Kernel in a Nutshell

One of the advantages of using GPLed software is that anybody who wish to use or modify the code can do so without fear of any repercussions. Ditto for the documentation of the software. This has at times tempted many a book author to release their books under a liberal license and make their efforts available for free in an electronic format.


One such author is Greg Kroab-Hartman who has released his book titled "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license which allows you to download and redistribute the book.


This book is not new rather, it has been significantly revamped to include details of the 2.6.18 Linux kernel.
