I was really worried , that I would have to give up on this goal,
but thanks for the advice. I am interested in working in schedulers,
file systems and  networking. If you guys want to help me , just
tell me how to get started and again to all the maintainers, I feel
terrible about wasting your time.
Sorry and thanks A lot,
Nick
