Hi, I've been frustrated in trying to find a way to help the project and thanks to several people's replies I've been considering what I like to do with the operating system.
My needs are simple, as far as personal usage goes; give me an offline system with vi and hard drive access and I'll happily write poetry to my heart's content in my favorite café. But I really want to help the project. I like the idea of trying to break things and get them to malfunction in order to expose bugs that have been overlooked. I like to smash things. Does anyone know of any good resources for this, or recommended software in ports that I should study and learn? I have an O'Reilly subscription, so and book recommendations from on there I should have access to. Blogs are great too. I have a pretty good understanding of randomness and know about the concept of fuzzing. I've done testing in my software courses and know a little about writing code for explicit bad cases. But my schooling was very lax and was easy to get A's so I didn't put much effort in. Thanks again to everyone who has tried to help me find my path here in the community, I know that I am a tough pill to swallow, that is why I generally play alone. -- Google doesn't need to know every time I fart.
