Product: How Linux Works

This book is completely fantastic. It is in-depth, but is not a struggle to absorb. Brian Ward is a fantastically clear writer, who knows very deeply about the topic he is teaching. The Aristotelian method of education insisted that the best way to determine whether someone had truly learned something, was to find out whether or not they could teach what they had learned. Reading this book has indicated to me that Brian Ward has much more than a cursory grasp of the subject of Linux, and after reading it… you will too!
I have been a linux user since I was 11. I am now 30. I am studying Computer Engineering, have programmed professionally, and am now in InfoSec. I still derived great value from reading this, and I think anyone else with an interest in getting a little closer to the kernel will too. I bought this book because I have a strong desire to contribute to the linux kernel, and this was my first stop.
Get this book.
