Hi,
Last question, it will be the same to do Kernel testing on a virtual
machine, or it will be better to do kernel testing over a no virtual
machine?
Regards,
Javi

Hi people,
Well, after reading those links provided by all of you, I'd like to start contributing as a Kernel tester.
Have also read this link about testing the Kernel:
http://m.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-kernel-testing-and-debugging?page=0,0
Which are the minimal hardware requirements to start contributing as a tester for X86 processors?
I have a Raspberry PI 3, can this device be useful for testing Linux Kernel on ARM arquitecture?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Regards

Hello,
My name is Javier, live in Argentina, and work as a Linux Server admin
in the Network Operations Center of an ISP.
Would like to know, how can I start contributing to the Linux kernel.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Javier Romero

You can also contribute by testing, see

A good place to start is the documentation on the kernel development
process:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/index.html
Thanks,
