Start by reading Documentation/HOWTO from a recent copy of the kernel source. > Almost all information I found on the Internet > if from before 2005 There's lots of good kernel related material to be found online. See for example : http://kernelnewbies.org/ http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/ http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ http://lwn.net/Kernel/ http://kerneltrap.org/ http://kerneltraffic.org/ > and I think that > means it's out-of-date.

Yes it is useful. Not everything in there is 100% up-to-date, but there is still a *LOT* of useful documentation to be found there. > An other question I'd like to ask is how and where did you start?
