Title: Save your money!
Review: I just got my copy of Core Kernel Commentary ... and was I ripped off or what! I just paid to get a bound copy of the Kernel source code!Yes, I am serious. 414 pages out of 561 are just a printout of the kernel source code (minus the service modules) with line numbers. I just paid for a 150-page book. Colour me unimpressed.I've only peeked at the remaining 150 pages; the architecture diagrams are pretty much verbatim from the free LHG and the 'annotations' are little one-paragraph restatements of the comments with the odd tidbit here and there, but unless you plan to read it cover to cover, there is no clear organization to the information. Even the CD is useless, it's just 5 editions of the kernel sources with TAG files (jump to a line number given a source code token) ... even if the CD just had the sources with hyperlinks to these 'annotations' it might be mildly useful.This one is going back.
