I'd hire someone who is a regular contributor to the Linux kernel (or other related open source projects) already. There are enough opportunities for people to become a kernel hacker in their spare time that there is no need for any Linux company out there to hire people without experience. If you want to get a job as a Linux kernel hacker, you should start on kernel development - once you've been active for a while and people know your name from the linux-kernel mailing list you'll be able to find a job quite easily. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian W. Kernighan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
