Linux Source Code
less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt To install kernel sources, I would select the appropriate rpm package during my main installation. To install sources for other packages that came with my distribution, I would put the "Source CD" into the cd drive and do something like (as root, with RedHat CD): [install the source code for the gnumeric spreadsheet from the cd to the harddrive] su cd /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/ rpm -ivh gnume<Tab> [unzip the sourcecode which I just installed] cd /usr/src/RPM/SOUR<Tab> tar -xvzf gnumer<Tab> [read the code for statistical functions in gnumeric] cd gnumeric/src/functions less fn-stat.c This is truly the ultimate reference on how a particular spreadsheet function works, no kidding.
