Hi,

Maybe I am not the first one to ask such a question...but couldnt stop myself either...

I have read all the relevant books on linux...such as LKD & LDD. I have tried getting some projects on soureforge.net as well ...however, i have not been lucky so far.

I want to land up with a job in Linux Kernel but everywhere I get rejected for lack of practical experience.
Dont know what to do to get relevant practical experince which gets counted and helps me land up with a job.
I am low on morale and confidence...pls suggest.

   Just curious. Sorry If I sound rude..Why do you want a job in Linux
kernel development ?

Linux - Getting your Hands Wet & Dirty

[Rajat Sharma]

Hi Sakshi,

Well this discussion may be going off the way of technical kernel discussion
on this list, but its anyway the aim is to get you point you in a kernel
development direction.

I think the situation with you is very common. What I can suggest is that
you join a group where you know people are working on kernel development.
You may not directly work on kernel components but user space utilities
around that. You can always ask for small kernel assignments or bug fixes in
kernel drivers from your manager and gradually prove yourself fit for kernel
development.

Trust me, this works. At least it worked for me.

All the best!!

Rajat

Why don't you go and start with some simple programs like sorting searching
blah blah and program a device driver yourself.
The mere fact that you are posting here on this list shows your reluctance
to hard work.
You wont succeed.

Am i the only person here who thinks that the tone of this thread is way too
rude. Irrespective of whatever the original question is, i think some of the
replies here are way too silly & childish.

I'm with you. Agreed that the original post was OOT in the first
place, but the replies haven't helped either and probably have
demoralized the original poster more.
