I dont write kernels
I write applications and small workarounds for to tweak some programms
on customers server.
linus is a cool guy i love him but i think he got his method

if you join kernel development mailing list on kernel.org you can see
them talking ...
it is a nice feeling to be on the same newsgroup eith linus but there is
nothing to learn from ...
you cant go there and ask "hey what about the dword there on line 356
...

so keep coding and trust in god :-))
