I'm far away from being a linux zealot, but an real good example (IMO, YMMV etc.) is reading linux-kernel.
L.T. and the other kernel hackers sometimes get into very interesting discussions. Lately there was a discussion where L.T. called the HP-UX sendfile implementation obviously stupid (and BSD's too, yeah, roll on;-)).
One of the people who answered was... well the implementor on HP-UX himself and a very interesting discussion began.
So, leeching on mailing lists might help - and if you're not into low-level os programming I'm sure you'll find a open source project which covers areas interesting to you (unless you're doing ERP applications or such stuff).
