2. Nota Bene

Ori's original document was good about supporting earlier versions of Linux, going all the way back to the 2.0 days. I had originally intended to keep with the program, but after thinking about it, opted out. My main reason to keep with the compatibility was for Linux distributions like LEAF, which tended to use older kernels. However, even LEAF uses 2.2 and 2.4 kernels these days.

Both Ori and I use the x86 platform. For the most part, the source code and discussions should apply to other architectures, but I can't promise anything. One exception is Chapter 12, Interrupt Handlers, which should not work on any architecture except for x86.
