"Linux Kernel Development is a starting point that will prove useful to any developer trying to get up to speed with one or more kernel subsystems.... The presentation is clear, the writing is enjoyable to read, and the information is accurate and useful. Linux Kernel Development belongs on the shelf of any developer who is interested in kernel work."

"Developers who want to jump in and help out the greater cause, will find this book the book to have.... If you like the challenge, or if you need to know more about the Linux kernel in general for any reason, this is definitely the book to get. It would certainly be one of your best reads on operating systems topics."

"If you are a Linux wizard or want to become one, you'll need Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love. It starts with a brief but useful introduction to operating systems and kernels and then goes on to break down the architecture of Linux very clearly. It also has an attribute we love: It gets to the point quickly, making the reasonable assumption that the reader has a clue."

"The author's knowledge, passion and excitement about the kernel show greatly and make this an enjoyable, easy-to-follow and compelling read.... I've already applied some of the knowledge in my normal application development on Linux at work.... If you're looking to do some kernel hacking or just interested in how the Linux kernel works, then I'd recommend reading this book.

"One of the very best technical books I own.... The author presents information the way I want to see it. I really like the historical background information on Linux and comparisons to Unix. If you are looking for one single reference on Linux programming, I recommend this title. Not just for kernel hacking."
