Well this is an excellent resource, BUT it seems 
devoid of any examples where a custom device driver,

say for the serial port on a linux system,
inserted as a module or is part of the kernel,
and the associate software that allows users
to access some of the hardware(features) and not
other hardware/firmware/kernel features(code), unless
they are root, or have a special (encrypted)key
or another form of chicanery (biometric generated
key).


If you are interested in device drivers and kernel stuff on linux, you 
might want to check out these fine books:


Linux Device Drivers, 3rd ed. (available online)
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/

Linux Kernel Development 2nd ed.
http://rlove.org/kernel_book/

Still a nice resource.

Yup. It also lacks an example showing how you can make a mysql-driven
ecommerce website which sells books to preschool children who have
credit cards.

and what has the above possibly got to do with bash?



 
 Still a nice resource.
