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.
