Just bought a new book - Robert Love's "Linux Kernel Development" (Second Edition). Excellent reading. Even better if it can be read with another great book - "Understanding The Linux Kernel".

I think I found two "bugs" (if someone could confirm these ...) :

  1. on page 25 line 9 "The new structure..." is written a bit smaller font than others.
  2. on page 37 it says "In do_exit(), notify_parent() is invoked ...". Should't it be "In do_exit(), exit_notify() is invoked ..."

xorg 6.8.2, SCO, etc.

Oh well. Quite ordinary day. Reading, reading and reading. Some mathematics, computer architecture and about software engineering. Tomorrow some Java, Linux kernel/drivers and Micro/OS-II.

Couple interesting news and articles:

X.Org :: X.Org 6.8.2 is Out!
Groklaw :: Kimball Memoradum and Order - as text
Bigruin :: Hard Drives: ATA versus SATA
Gnome :: Interview with Alexander Larsson
News.com :: Carly Fiorina

IBM is going to introduce new Cell processor today at ISSCC. Very interesting indeed.
It's interesting to see has Linux something to do with PS3 or is IBM going to release some Linux/Cell based workstations or even desktop computers.

I just ordered "Programming from the Ground Up"
