[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ultralinux.org/lists.html is the main SPARC kernel mailing list, you probably also want to keep an eye on what's going on on the LKML [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kernel.org/ although it is fairly high traffic and you may want to read a summary instead: http://www.kernel-traffic.org/ http://lwn.net/Kernel/ http://www.kerneltrap.org/ there is also a dedicated kernel newbies list / site: http://kernelnewbies.org/ (also see http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBooks for some of the books available) http://www.sparc.org/ has the architecture specifications, which may be of use. http://lxr.linux.no/source/ Is the output of LXR, which I find a very approachable interface to browsing kernel code, although I know some prefer cscope(1). Beyond that I think it's a case of finding a bug, fixing it and repeating. Personally I find the best way of learning a new piece of software is to pick a task and start hacking. HTH and good luck.
