I found it through the Slashdot: http://kerneltrap.com/article.php?sid=340
---- Clip here ----- JA: What tips and inspiration can you offer aspiring kernel hackers? Russell King: The rapidly expanding selection of Linux books provides useful information. Certainly "Linux Device Drivers" is highly recommended. Also, the #kernelnewbies channel on the Openprojects IRC network (see http://kernelnewbies.org) provides help to budding kernel hackers. Mailing lists are an invaluable resource to find out what the community is doing, proposed features, and information regarding new releases. There are many Linux mailing lists, and subscribing to the relevant ones can be a nightmare, especially as some are high volume. Using a mail client that understands threading helps. JA: I've switched email clients numerous times in the past couple of years. In recent months I've been happily using Sylpheed, which supports threading and is being rapidly developed. What client do you use and recommend? Russell King: Mutt is really good, but takes some time to get used to it. If you used elm previously, you have an advantage in that many of the keys are identical. I tend to think of mutt as "elm v10" - it has a lot of really useful features elm was lacking. For instance, mutt integrates mime and pgp (or gnupg) support, as well as the ability to sanely postpone messages. ---- Clip here ----- -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * University of Jyväskylä * [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.st.jyu.fi/~juhtolv/spam.html * * * "STRAIGHT BUT NOT NARROW!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Bück dich befehl ich dir. wende dein Antlitz ab von mir. dein Gesicht ist mir egal. bück dich noch einmal."
