Furthermore I don't think this will cost very much band width comparing it with the amount of emails flowing though this mailing list. If I'm wrong I'm sorry. I'm a simple Math/Computer Science student and would like to learn more about linux and it's kernel. To be more precise, I'd to learn how to program in the linux kernel and maybe become a developer, if everything goes fine. But where do I start? Almost all information I found on the Internet if from before 2005 and I think that means it's out-of-date. Are there up-to-date documentations that are use full to read and explain how the kernel is build. (for example, is /usr/src/linux/Documentation a use full dir?) An other question I'd like to ask is how and where did you start? I'd like to know how you manage to became linux kernel developers. I do program in c and run Gentoo Linux, so I know quite some things about Linux and I'm not a complete n00b. At least, I don't think I am.
