I am interested in getting involved in Linux Open Source development. How do I start?

This advice from someone who has NOT done any development for Linux but would love to someday after I retire (or are out of work for an extended period of time)... 1: Install Linux on your PC (or whatever compatible hardware you have). 2: Go to this directory: /usr/src/linux/Documentation and read some (or most) of the text files here, notably: * BUG-HUNTING * CodingStyle * SubmittingPatches 3: Become familiar with this site: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ 4: Have fun! :-) -- Gary
