KernelTrap Interview With Rusty Russell

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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.

    Am I the only guy who misread "maturation" and giggled at the resulting sentence?

    Told by Natalie Portman in Soviet Russia with hot grits.
