Andrew Morton on Kernel Hacking

Posted by Hemos on from the smart-people-often-say-smart-things dept.

Susie Denmark writes "Linux Format has a brief interview with Andrew Morton, the maintainer of the Linux kernel 2.6 tree. Andrew discusses the debates behind revision control systems (the BitKeeper and CVS), new kernel features and his own -mm tree. Will the issue of using RCSes in the kernel tree ever die down? Does it really matter?"

    But what does he know about 2.7!!??

  2. Wow by gowen · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm suprised he finds the time, given the heavy load of muck raking biographies that he manages to write.
