Best Advanced Linux Kernel Training?

Posted by kdawson on from the those-who-teach dept.

hdxia writes "Can anybody recommend a good Linux kernel training course? I have had some Linux kernel hacking experience, but would like to further harden and improve my understanding of the kernel. I expect the course would be advanced. You may say that the best method would be to dig into the kernel myself, but I really want to have a chance to discuss and learn all aspects of the kernel with an experienced instructor."

    Maybe this observation doesn't apply anymore, but I remember a Director at an International Telecommunications company telling me in 2003, that when they looked for a top-level network engineer, anyone that listed their certifications and instruction prominently, went to the bottom of the pile.

    His point was that at the highest level, they needed people who had learned by failing, not by sitting in class listening to an instructor.

    Maybe that doesn't apply anymore, but it made a weird kind of sense to me at the time.
