Books
Linux Kernel Development is a guide to understanding the Linux kernel. Now in its third edition, this is the definitive Linux kernel work. You should buy a copy and carry it with you at all times.
Linux System Programming, subtitled Talking Directly to the Kernel and C Library, is Stevens for the Linux era. The second edition is full of insider knowledge and is the essential systems programming handbook.
Linux in a Nutshell, sixth edition, is the authoritative user reference for Linux. Awarded "Best Linux Book of All Time" by Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Awards, every Linux user needs a copy.
Software
I hack on the Linux kernel.
procps, which I maintained until version 2.0.17, is the utility suite that contains ps and top.
schedutils is a set of tools for manipulating process attributes. Now part of util-linux, my last release was 1.5.0.
