A GUIDE TO THE KERNEL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

It is an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel development (or, indeed, free software development in general).

  • dualscreenman, on 08/17/2008, -0/+14I'm hacking ur kernel, disablin' ur caps lock.
  • Ademan, on 08/17/2008, -1/+14To be fair it's caps in the article (it's basically plain text) so they probably just copied and pasted. Otherwise it seems to be a pretty good article...
  • max1018, on 08/17/2008, -1/+10Seriously? ***** off. There is a reason there is a Customize button up there. Can't be bothered to scroll up there?

    Turn Linux off and you won't have to see them again.
  • Vadi0, on 08/17/2008, -1/+8Nice document... should help someone out there.

    Btw, caps lock in titles is perfectly acceptable if you didn't know... The Internets must've warped your understanding of that.
  • jessenoob, on 08/18/2008, -1/+7LET'S ALL TALK VERY LOUDLY
  • bureksir, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4So reading is tough for you... It's ok, just keep at it and you'll make it some day.
  • iofthestorm, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Seriously, especially in plain text files. Idiots complaining about caps lock have probably never opened a readme file in their lives, or something.
  • DrShotgun, on 08/18/2008, -2/+3MAYBE IF I TYPE IN CAPS A LOT, SOMEONE WILL FINALLY LOVE ME.
  • Oscar58, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1this cool.
  • fluxion, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1i dont even know what this calculator article you're going off about is. quit whining and take max1018's advice.
  • Anator, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2Look at all the comments, its pathetic. Maybe if you care to read whats written you will be a little less finicky about caps.

    For those of you really interested in the workings of the kernel you can check out these links

  • brianjlowry, on 08/18/2008, -2/+2Linux is so 2007. Haven't you all heard that Win 3.11 is back in?
  • inactive, on 08/17/2008, -3/+3A GUIDE TO THE CAPS LOCK KEY
  • inactive, on 08/17/2008, -2/+2Excellent idea but somehow i doubt it's going to help.
  • Culyt, on 08/18/2008, -3/+2Actually if you used caps lock from the start of a textmode only virtual terminal (ie CTRL+ALT+F1, caps on, login) you would actually get a CAPS only terminal.

    Not sure how well it handles caps/noncaps filenames or how the password works if you have lowercase in it, but works it does.
  • computershack, on 08/18/2008, -1/+0So you think that the fact a calculator runs on Linux is a newsworthy item and is yet another reason people should use Linux?

    No wonder Linus thinks half of you are whack jobs.
  • inactive, on 08/18/2008, -2/+1why is everyone yelling?
  • nullx42, on 08/17/2008, -6/+4SUDO MAKE ME A SANDWICH
  • Zwale, on 08/18/2008, -4/+1I sort of tried to read this and care but all that kept running through my head was Smokie from Friday...."I don't *****!"
  • Haydio, on 08/17/2008, -5/+2Please don't shout.
  • FyberOptic, on 08/18/2008, -4/+1Also known as "Why I'll never contribute to the Linux kernel."
  • SAMUELJACKSON69, on 08/18/2008, -4/+0NO I CAN'T STOP YELLIN', CAUSE THAT'S HOW I TALK! YOU AIN'T NEVER SEEN MY MOVIES? JUICE? THAT WAS A GOOD ONE? DEEP BLUE SEA? THEY ATE ME! A F*CKIN' SHARK ATE ME! DRINK, B*TCH! JURASSIC PARK? SAMUEL JACKSON! IT'S MY BEER! YES, THEY DESERVE TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!
  • wtfbatman, on 08/18/2008, -6/+1OH MY GOD, THANK YOU DIGG, WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT KNOWING THIS?
  • computershack, on 08/17/2008, -11/+2Buried for being yet another ***** story about Linux. How ***** desperate must the Linux community be where even the fact there's a hint a sodding calculator runs it gets frontpage on Digg.
