For many years I've been involved in OS/kernel and
network development on various platforms (including
Intel86) and OSes, but I am totally new to Linux. What
would be an optimal way for somebody like me to learn
both Linux driver development and Linux Kernel
internals ?

Hit http://www.dit.upm.es/~jmseyas/linux/kernel/hackers-docs.html - has a good
selection of dead-tree and online references. The kernel-janitors project -
http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ - is a good starting point; that's where a lot of
kernel hackers get their start.

this has been very recently asked on the list. some of the suggested answers were:
books:
. linux kernel development by robert love
. linux device drivers by Alessandro Rubini and Jonathan Corbet.
. understanding linux kernel by Daniel P. Bovet and Marco Cesati.
(last two will have new editions soon covering 2.6 kernels)
regards,
pedro venda.

What about http://kernelnewbies.org/?
I'm also extremely new in the kernel-programming scene (have done my
first post to lkml just two days ago ;-) ) and I tried to start there...

LDD3 (by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini, and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
will, it is hoped, be ready to be the star of the show at LinuxWorld in
Boston, next month. The online release will, as usual, take some time
to prepare; I can't predict just when that will be.
