Hey All,
In my quest for work in the linux kernel I was looking at bugs.
While I have a general idea of the kernel (including KDB) most of the
bugs I've seen (under process management and drivers) are very
contrived to me.
I was wondering if there is anything like a good_first_bug or
newbie_bug list anywhere?
If not, anyone out there know any bugs a kernel toddler can try and attack?
Thanks so much,
Gideon

As with anything, the simple bugs tend to be removed quite quickly, I don't
think many kernelhackers leave the easy bugs "just to be nice to newbies" -
whenever a bug is discovered they are fixed.
However, I discovered http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ a little while ago.
Be warned, I haven't tested it, not sure what the challenge is like, but
might as well be a good place to start.
Good luck!
