- Also pick up "Understanind the Linux Kernel" by O'Reilley
- www.linuxnewbies.org / #linuxnewbies on irc.openprojects.net
- Read lwn.net's kernel write up every week
- Read kernel threads every week (search for it on google)
- Also, the linux scsi how-to I believe talks about how to access the
  SCSI subsystem from user space and do things with it.

AFAIK, there really are no great driver classes at the moment.  Last I heard,
the redhat classed was based on the Rubini book which is 2.2, but that's
probably changed by now to a 2.4 based class.

To anyone who says I can't simply shut my brain off and enjoy the ride,
I say I don't understand how anyone can. To me, being asked not to think
about something in order to enjoy it automatically makes it suspect. I'm
entertained by things that make me think. It's all part of the same thing.
