  not sure who it was (maybe even valdis) who once said, "Saying you
want to get into kernel programming but have no idea where to start so
can someone give you suggestions is like saying you want to write a
book but don't know what to write about so can someone give you any
ideas."

Yeah, that was me...

I'm also the one who said that we're approaching the point where the
number of people who are actually qualified to do serious hacking on
the kernel innards (like the scheduler, vfs, etc, not just a driver)
is on the same order of magnitude as the number of people qualified
to be Formula-1 race car mechanics....

  all those F-1 race cars run linux, anyway, so ... no big deal.
