linux-insides
===============

A book-in-progress about the linux kernel and its insides.

**The goal is simple** - to share my modest knowledge about the insides of the linux kernel and help people who are interested in linux kernel insides, and other low-level subject matter. Feel free to go through the book [Start here](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/blob/master/SUMMARY.md)

**Questions/Suggestions**: Feel free about any questions or suggestions by pinging me at twitter [@0xAX](https://twitter.com/0xAX), adding an [issue](https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides/issues/new) or just drop me an [email](mailto:anotherworldofworld@gmail.com).

Docker
------

In order to run your own copy of the book with gitbook within a local container:

1. Enable Docker experimental features with vim or another text editor

   Then add --experimental=true to the end of the ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// line and save.

   Eg: *ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --experimental=true*
