One of the little known secrets of working with linux is that the web is generally the best way to learn things - not the source code. This is messing with my head ;-) but at least I'm getting much better at finding things then when I started. I am, however, still only an egg (at searching). > The Linux Test Project: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ > > Enjoy.

And quite seriously, I suspect that test development is a great way to learn - doubly so if you then turn around and fix the bugs your tests uncover. And I've never yet seen a project where the tests weren't suffering from bitrot or worse, so there's sure to be work to be done. -- Arlie _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
