KernelTrap's first interview was with Robert Love in October of 2001. Since
that time, his kernel preemption patch has been merged into the 2.5
development kernel and he's continued to be active on the Linux kernel
development scene. He recently agreed to speak with us again.

In this interview, Robert discusses the status of Linux kernel preemption,
talks about his recent involvement with the O(1) scheduler, and explains his
recent VM overcommit work. He also reflects upon Linus' use of Bitkeeper,
the future of Linux, and the recent Kernel Summit in Ottawa.

Presently in California working for MontaVista, Robert will return to
college for his third year at the University of Florida in late August. Read
on for the full interview.
