More. Once you get a feel of using kernel functions, you can start working with the kernel subsystems. > like testing and crash analysing and > benchmarking.... Crashing always happens.

Remember, I said it will take years to become a good kernel progammer? 1. You can test latest kernels and try to fix the kernel bugs. Submit patches to lkml? 2. You can work on specific subsystems like SCSI, USB, networking, filesystems etc. and understand what it does. 3. You can work on core kernel modules like IPC, memory management, virtual memory. Each subsystem is huge, and it depends on what your interests are. > That is what I feel honestly. Most of the times > kernelnewbies mailing > list discuss same subject again and again. It is a support list. Cheers, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
