[OT] learn basic kernel programming on your ubuntu 10.04 system!!

[Robert P. J. Day]

  yes, it's wildly off-topic but if you've ever wanted to get your
feet wet and do some basic kernel programming, i'm giving you the
chance:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Online_beginner%27s_kernel_programming_course

  and what does this have to do with ubuntu, you ask?  obviously, you
should be able to do the same kernel programming on any decent and
modern distro but since i'll have numerous labs throughout the course,
i wanted to pick a specific distro so i was able to say that, "if you
use this particular version of this particular distro, i absolutely
***guarantee*** that all the sample programs will work."  not a big
deal, i just wanted to have a known good starting point.

  and on that note, i will end my clearly self-serving post.  if you
want to know more, get in touch with me or just follow me on twitter
where i'll be posting updates.

rday

p.s.  in the two days that i've been thinking about this and posting
about it elsewhere, i already have others willing to contribute to
designing followup courses.  we'll see where this goes.
