One of my favourite books, I even read it a couple of times, even hacked around with xv6 (the x86 port of the edition 6 kernel[0][1], if you do hack around with it in a VM make sure to add HLT to the idle() function, if nothing else it will save your fans).

One of a small number of books (such as TCP/IP Illustrated[2]) that progressed me from the larval hacker stage.

I also met Lions when I was a kid, but didn't put 2 + 2 together until 20 years later!

For Linux, one of my top 5 favourite books of all time is “Linux Core Kernel”, which is a Linux version of Lions but on pages so big it doesn’t fit on the shelf.

Apologies; if I could edit it I would.
