Hi, As you might guess from a previous thread, i am trying to learn modules development. I use kubuntu as my dist. My first goal is to be able to run the hello world module example in the linux device drivers 3rd edition book. Apparently in 2.6 you need to have the whole kernel compiled just to build one module, which is not a problem though i don't want to start spending days tuning it up to work correctly with my system. What should be my workspace so i can start learning: User mode linux? qemu? vmware? XEN :) ? P.s.: naturally i am impatient to start coding yesterday :)
The Vmware website has an image (called something like "network appliance") which is a pre-installed Ubunut virtual machine, all ready to go. Except for the time it takes to download the image, this would save you the time of having to install the guest OS. I have only used Vmware. If such pre-installed images are available for the other virtualization tools, then I don't know which is best. (Re your project: I for one would be interested to hear how your learning goes. Later, perhaps it would make a nice HOWTO or wiki page or something.)
