Hi,
I just finished up an OS class, and am pretty excited
about the Linux Kernel. I don't have that much
experience, but I would love to help out. How could I
be assigned bugs to work on?

Finding your own is a great way to start, or even helping contribute to
code in the Linux Test Project.  Testing is a good way to force yourself
to learn something.  http://ltp.sourceforge.net

| Hi Jim,

The kernel janitors project also has entry-level openings.
You can check out the todo list there.
