5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant read, 6 Sep 2005
This book is great. It contains all the structures and information required to get coding for a SCO kernel. Although the cover states that this book is for SCO, don't let that put you off. At almost every chance the author states where code is SCO specific.

I've read many books on unix and linux and this is by far one of the best, you should not be afraid to get your sleeves rolled up for this book, and that's what makes it such a great read.
