内容概要

　　为了彻底理解是什么使得Linux能正常运行以及其为何能在各种不同的系统中运行良好，你需要深入研究内核最本质的部分。内核处理CPU与外界间的所有交互，并且决定哪些程序将以什么顺序共享处理器时间。它如此有效地管理有限的内存，以至成百上千的进程能高效地共享系统。它熟练地统筹数据传输，这样CPU不用为等待速度相对较慢的硬盘而消耗比正常耗时更长的时间。　　《深入理解Linux内核，第三版》指导你对内核中使用的最重要的数据结构、算法和程序设计诀窍进行一次遍历。通过对表面特性的探究，作者给那些想知道自己机器工作原理的人提供了颇有价值的见解。书中讨论了Intel特有的重要性质。相关的代码片段被逐行剖析。然而，本书涵盖的不仅仅是代码的功能，它解释了Linux以自己的方式工作的理论基础。　　本书将使你了解Linux的所有内部工作，它不仅仅是一个理论上的练习。你将学习到哪些情况下Linux性能最佳，并且你将看到，在大量的不同环境里进行进程调度、文件存取和内存管理时，它如何满足提供良好的系统响应的需要。这本书将帮助你充分利用Linux系统。

•   为什么总是缺货呢！？
•   非常好的一本书，Linux学习者必备
•   要想学好Linux，先买这本书吧
•   very good text
•   以前看得电子版，但是还是要有本纸的。内存管理部分需要我在细细阅读。
•   整体把握linux，还算一部好书！
•   很不错的书，就是书边上有些破损，不知是快递的错还是原来就那样。。。整体还可以
•   亚马逊老爹，你能不能不要这么坑，我憋了一个月就等您的影印版，最后实在忍不住了买了你的中文版，翻译质量看得我那个疼啊。这下好了，才过几天你就把影印版的放出来了，你让我情何以堪，你知道的，别的书店一直都有影印版啊，我不去买还不是为了你的送货速度嘛。
•   这本书是学习Linux驱动的必备书籍，值得收藏，但不知道英文版什么时候有货！！
•   书本身很好，配送很快
•   很不错的书，就是起点较高，不过还是很适合有一定基础的人读的
•   很好的linux指南
•   影印版的还不错，但有个状况
