“Alan Cox is a name that should be well known to most Linux
users. He is responsible for much of the code in the Linux kernel,
including small pieces like networking and SMP. He has handled the
latter-day 2.0 releases, and serves as one of the primary conduits
for patches into the current development kernels. He is certainly
one of the key players in the kernel development arena.”
