+How and why to work with the Linux kernel community
+Linux driver development model
+
+
+Without proper support from HW vendor, Most hardware drivers are developed by people inside that community
+sadly most of them have no relation to the HW manufacturer
+even more sadly, many of them have to work without or with insufficient documentation (reverse engineering)
+
+Good HW vendors understand this and support Linux properly!
+
+Linux is a big market by now
+Servers
+Embedded devices (est. > 40% of all wifi/dsl router + NAS appliances)
+Increasingly popular on the Desktop
+Recently: Netbooks
