KernelTrap Interview With Rusty Russell

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday September 23, 2003 @03:08AM from the stuff-to-read dept.

Jeremy Andrews writes "KernelTrap has interviewed Rusty Russell, a humorous and productive contributer to Linux Kernel development. Author of ipchains, netfilter/iptables, futexes, per-cpu counters, hot pluggable CPU support, and the new in-kernel module loading code, Rusty's efforts have had a significant impact on the upcoming 2.6 kernel. For a humorous sample of Rusty's wit, one only needs to look at his email signature which reads, 'Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.'" Rusty is a great guy, and this is a worthwhile read.

"Begging the question" is when you make a point, but have to accept the point before the logic that you use makes sense.

I worked at Stratus a few months ago on a menial little project, but one of the things they did was show me around the engineering labs, and there is a section of the lab devoted to making Linux work on the ftServer line of servers.
