Not only because it is more up-to-date, but also because it covers a wider range of drivers. However, reading Linux Device Drivers first is probably recommended. In the end, I think both books are very complementary.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>See also http://vig.pearsoned.co.uk/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0132396556,00.html</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>See also http://vig.pearsoned.co.uk/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0132396556,00.html</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>[[Category:Books]]</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>[[Category:Books]]</div></td></tr> <!-- diff cache key elinux:diff:version:1.11a:oldid:10565:newid:10670 --> </table>
