Other Online Documentation Sources

Linux source code

The official site for getting kernel source can be found at:

http://www.kernel.org/

Many mirror sites are also available all over the world.

GCC manuals

All distributions of the GNU C compiler should include full documentation for all its features, stored in several info files that can be read with the Emacs program or another info reader. By the way, the information on Extended Inline Assembly is quite hard to follow, since it does not refer to any specific architecture. Some pertinent information about Intel 80x86 GCC's Inline Assembly can be found at:

http://sag-www.ssl.berkeley.edu/~korpela/djgpp_asm.html

http://www.castle.net/~avly/djasm.html

The Linux Documentation Project

The web site at:

http://www.linuxdoc.org

contains the home page of the Linux Documentation Project, which, in turn, includes several interesting references to guides, FAQs, and HOWTOs.

Linux kernel development forum

The newsgroup:

comp.os.linux.development.system

is dedicated to discussions about development of the Linux system.

The linux-kernel mailing list

This fascinating mailing list contains much noise as well as a few pertinent comments about the current development version of Linux and about the rationale for including or not including in the kernel some proposals for changes. It is a living laboratory of new ideas that are taking shape. The name of the mailing list is:

linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
