Video Interview with Kernel Developer Peter Anvin
Bootloader Syslinux developer Peter Anvin, since 1992 kernel developer, gives an insight into his work.
Born in Sweden, Anvin now lives in California and works at the Intel Open Source Technology Center. In the video, he tells of how Intel let him "get on with his Linux thing" while at the same time seek his advice in Linux matters, which he enjoys. He also explains why programming Bootloader is so exciting and of course, the first things he actually did to the Linux kernel in 1992. The video was shot in the hotel he was staying at during the Fosdem.
