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.

Rusty is a great guy. He's doesn't get the credit he deserves. I met him at a LinuxCon a few years ago. Most kernel developers are stuck up pricks, but not Rusty. And he tosses salad like a pro too!

I agree with the IBM comment. But this looks like an attempt by a Slashdot wanna-be to get his name out there. Come up with your own idea, don't copy a great site and attempt to call it your own.
