A very interesting Linux site

#1 Post by tallboy »

I have plowed deeper into a site where I use to read ~nix man-pages, and there I found some interesting info that I will share with you.
Michael Kerrisk runs the site man7.org. He is responsible for maintaining The Linux man-pages project, which documents the Linux kernel and C library interfaces. He is also an author, he has written the book The Linux Programming Interface, which he uses in his own programming classes, and which is also used in university courses.
Main site. http://man7.org/index.html
About man-pages: https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
The listed man-pages as html: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/index.html
His book, with some free downloads: http://man7.org/tlpi/index.html

And now for some really interesting reading, at least for some of you:
All changes in the Linux kernel and glibc after he wrote his book in 2010. (Linux kernel (2.6.35) and glibc (2.12))

True freedom is a live Puppy on a multisession CD/DVD.
