Becoming a Linux Kernel Programmer?

Posted by Cliff on from the take-many-slow-steps dept.

Young Grasshoopa asks: "In my 6 years of IT life, I've been a sys admin, perl programmer, and a config. mgmt. engineer. I've recently learned programming in C, and somehow ended up learning a bit of Linux Kernel programming as well. I now have developed a strong motivation to become a Linux kernel developer, but given my background, I am not sure how to approach companies or Open Source Project groups. I ask all those who were in a similar situation - how do you become a full-time kernel developer?"

    Hah hah! Yeah sure you did. Right after your mom doubled her pay to 10c by sucking my fat cuban. It was more rewarding for her too.

    Of course he'll make more money, because the people to pay him are way over the top on the stupidity scale.
    They use MSWinxzoed for 'mission'-critical operations. See the recent blackout? Bill's fault.
    They are so stupid, so hypnotized by the Microsoft fasct.
    It's like a cult, they are all dumb.
    Microsoft is the opium of the pleb.
