Someone needs to write a "Kernel Hacking for Dummies" book to help out us application programmers. :-) I've picked up bits and pieces on the net, but some of them are probably assembled in the wrong order. How in the world do you learn this stuff?

Well, simple google search got me these few links on Kernel Hacking:
http://www.kernelhacking.org/
http://www.linuxchix.org/content/courses/kernel_hacking/
And I could swear there was an O'Reilly book on it too... but I can't find the listing on their site.

I would assume that many of the people who do kernel hacking have been in the field for quite some time, and that they have learned about kernel hacking from either college or a *nix-related job somewhere around the line.
