Drop all your computer science books (including that damn algorithm book), forget about you time reading the linux kernel sources and all the time across the night you’ve lost mining the internet looking for useful information, (even that black screen with gray letters using vi + C), now you can be a hacker just binding components and/or creating a web page with a nice css style. It reminds me a nice antonym to the hacker meaning,

Talkers: A person who speaks more than effectively do something useful.

Written by a leading developer and maintainer of the Linux kernel, Linux Kernel in a Nutshell is a comprehensive overview of kernel configuration and building, a critical task for Linux users and administrators.The book is available for download in either PDF or DocBook format for the entire book, or by the individual chapter.

To quote of the book’s author:

If you want to know how to build, configure, and install a custom Linux kernel on your machine, buy this book. It is written by someone who spends every day building, configuring, and installing custom kernels as part of the development process of this fun, collaborative project called Linux. I’m especially proud of the chapter on how to figure out how to configure a custom kernel based on the hardware running on your machine. This is an essential task for anyone wanting to wring out the best possible speed and control of your hardware.
