Being more realistic, get good at a specific subsystem and earn a good reputation in that subsystem. If you're lucky someone will get to know your reputation and get you a shot regardless that you got off on the wrong foot. More importantly, except for kernel trainers like Robert, most companies hire linux kernel subsystem developers, not linux kernel developers. Thus you need to find a part of the kernel you want to delve into and get really good at just it. You can also research who the companies are that employ kernel developers and see which subsystems they are working in. As an example Redhat employs a couple of the XFS developers. SUSE employs one of the mdraid developers, etc. Greg -- Greg Freemyer _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
