Hello,

in the light of this discussion, there is a question which has been 
bugging me for quite a while about higher academia and Linux.

I'm currently completing a Bachelor in "Computing and Systems"[1] in 
Belgium, which is very focused on programming. (Mainly C, but also C++, 
C#, Java...) It is a curriculum that will qualify me as an 
Analyst-Programmer (not sure if that's the correct term in English), in 
a relatively practical sense.

But I really wonder which type of Master (if any?) would maximize my 
chances of being hired by a company working on kernel development and 
related matters. Surely, a MSc in Computer Engineering would be more 
on-topic than a "traditional" MSc in Computer Science for instance, no? 
What *is* the best way to go about a Master that would be related to 
Linux development as much as possible? (thinking about a future career 
in the field)

Greetings,
Pierre
