Hi I have been working on Linux OS for the last 10 years and it has been very exiting and challenging to learn new technologies based on Linux. I am basically a Sys Admin for Linux with bash programming and configuring and setting up Linux Server including network services like BIND DNS,Apache etc... Although i do not know C and ASM Language, I am very much eager to start learning Linux Kernel Code and contribute to linux kernel codebase sometimes down the line. Please guide/suggest me. Regards,
Hello! I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that. For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love. Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit your first patch.
