If you're dealing with performance issues on the server - I'm sure you may have faced similar issues What methodology to you generally adopt for dealing with this besides doing the obvious like running IOSTAT, VMSTAT,MPSTAT,TOP..etc Do you debug system level calls to see if there are issues? - I'm sorry oif my question sounds amaterish. I'm new at this and trying to learn Hi David,

For drivers specifically, I'd recommend Linux Drivers from O'Reilly Press.

Non technical question here - I’ve been a Linux \Solaris Admin for 3 years now

I just read you’re Tech Target article where you suggest that we should learn to write our own Linux Modules

Can you be more specific - I love debugging using Strace & Truss & would like to learn more in depth

Can you suggest on what I should learn to write my own modules & improve my debugging skills

If you plan to run from CDROM, better beef up the memory. It's too bad the disk controller is bad - that cuts down a lot. The E500 will boot from CDROM.
