want to learn embedded linux

well, i am working on the microcontroller ARM but i am using it as a
simple
microcontroller and want to use RTOS with the help of the Embedded
linux..

But i had strated reading the book but i do find that its quiet difficult
can u please suggest me some good ebook...or some material on the
Embedded
linux on the nex 
i desparately want to learn embedded linux how do i start?

The manditory question here is:  Are you sure you need an RTOS?

Please provide more information, e.g.:

This is a networked device.

I am using Embedded Databases.

I am controlling USB devices.

I need a file system.

I need X-windows support.

I am running multiple applications concurrently.

What do you need a full OS for?

Because it is Linux
Because every computer I have used has an OS
Because I want Linux on my CV
Because I am following the crowd


I can't understand it either. The RTOS takes up large amounts of
resources in space and time.  A large number of times I see an RTOS used
(eve a free one) it adds a vast amount of complexity, development time
and often real expense in hardware and production costs.

Even though I sell an RTOS I usually caution against it's use unless
there is a real need.  Usually because the project will require multiple
process's and requires thing like your list above: file system, network,
USB database etc.
