Kernelnewbies are a community of people that improve or update their ["Kernel"]s and of aspiring Linux kernel developers and more experienced developers willing to share their knowledge. We help each other learn how the Linux kernel works and occasionally discuss other operating system kernels. Kernelnewbies can be found on the MailingList, ["IRC"] (irc.oftc.net #kernelnewbies), the [http://forum.kernelnewbies.org/ web forum] and this wiki. == ChangeLog == A human readable changelog for the Linux kernel can be found on the LinuxChanges page. == Hacking == Want to become a kernel hacker? Need to figure out how a certain kernel subsystem works? Go to [:KernelHacking:Linux Kernel Hacking] == Glossary == Confused by kernel terminology? Look at our KernelGlossary... == Frequently Asked Questions == Common questions and answers about kernel development can be found in our ["FAQ"]. == Documentation == An effort to organize all the pieces of useful information on the Internet about kernel hacking into a single place can be found at the ["Documents"] page. == Online == Kernelnewbies can be found on the MailingList, ["IRC"] (irc.oftc.net #kernelnewbies), the [http://forum.kernelnewbies.org/ web forum] and this wiki. ---- == Please edit our wiki == Kernel{{{}}}Newbies is all about sharing knowledge and experience.
