"It's terrible," De Raadt says. "Everyone is using it, and they don't realize how bad it is. And the Linux people will just stick with it and add to it rather than stepping back and saying, 'This is garbage and we should fix it.'"
NF: The BSDs are still considered by some to be more technically correct than the Linux kernel. Linus Torvalds has said in the past that it's not all about technology. Do you think the BSD project you work on is better technically for some or all uses than GNU/Linux (in general)?
Theo de Raadt: I don't know. I have never run Linux.
They state it like it's mutually exclusive, but it makes sense that it's not (i.e. a bug in the critical part of the kernel could most likely cause a system crash).
Excuse my naivety, but this is because you compile the modules you would use into the kernel correct? Does LFS go over this? Any suggested readings on that topic? Thanks.
Amen to that! The only thing I would add to Bongo's post would be to get a programming internship while you are in school. This will be an immense asset for you when you're trying to get your "first job" out of school.

I don't use modules in the kernel
