Sorry Maoz, but I don't have a good advice, but I can give you some pointers where to start your own research. http://www.job4me.net/ - a google lookalike web site which searches every Hi-tech company for their job offers. http://free-electrons.com/ - excellent web site which offers free training material mainly for embedded system. http://free-electrons.com/community/kernel/ - a good resource to learn about linux kernel/drivers development. http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/ - A good place for kernel newbies. Also some PHP open source projects: http://gallery.menalto.com/ http://www.freepbx.org/ and of course a lot more I hope it will give you a better view of your options. > Hello, fellow Linuxers.
