Hello, kernel newbies and even some hackers. I think this question is probably for experinced kernel programmers... Or maybe not. Anyway... I know linux some years(not very many, but...), kernel programming a little more than a year. But even with such a little knowledge i see, that modern kernel cotains start point for very, very large amount of projects. Of cource, it is not very easy to start and develop usefull feature, but it _can_ be done. And staying on the edge of this _adventure_ not experinced man(like me) loses one's presence of mind( Brr, what's the word...)... Another word he doesn't know, where he wants to work. No, i don't ask about one more project for newbie... There are great number of interesting things, which can be done, one should only looks a bit deeper. But where? (not in particular order... :) ) mm, usb, fs, block, network, sound, core, char, video... I don't remeber all, but it doesn't matter... Please, let anyone says, why he works exactly there and not there, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each area of kernel development. Since while staying and determining what is the best, time slowly goes away... First step to the guruism should be done not in all directions. Sorry, if such kind of questions plague you. I hope you will help me and, i think, many other people :) Thanks in advance. P.S.
