- more ["Documents"], which should probably be indexed from this page or subsystem pages
LinuxChanges and http://LWN.net/Kernel - read about recent developments
How To ...
KernelBuild - build a custom kernel
KernelSafari - taking apart the kernel to see how it works
UpstreamMerge How to submit your patch to the upstream kernel.
