CompleteNewbiesClickHere - Linux Kernel Newbies

CompleteNewbiesClickHere - Linux Kernel Newbies: "First advice I got when I entered #kernelnewbies a year ago, was to download kernel version 0.0.1. It's a good start for someone who doesn't know jack about kernels, and wants to see a very basic one. [Dan Aloni]

[Sherilyn] The 0.01 kernel downloads to about 10000 lines of C and assembler, which is fairly manageable. Note that it's a barely functional UNIX with tons of bugs, but that doesn't stop it being useful if (like me) you just want to get a quick snapshot of the way in which a UNIX system boots up and starts executing processes, and a broad, uncluttered picture of the kernel system call API. I have written the following Wiki pages which may be of use as an introduction to kernel programming. Please add any corrections, etc."
