The coverage of both the x86 and the PowerPC is unique to this book.That is the purpose of this book. Step by step, you will learn about the differentkernel components, how they work, and how they relate to each other. The authorsare intimately familiar with the kernel, and this knowledge shows through; by theend of the book, you and the kernel will at least be good friends, with the prospectof a deeper relationship ahead of you.
