A multithreaded file system is only a performance hack.
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Most hackers graduate from Unix and Linux platforms. They know them intimately. They don't try to exploit them
Cosmoe works on any of the standard filesystems available for Linux.
One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the "pay for use" binary shareware programs.
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money.
There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.
Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
I get the biggest enjoyment from the random and unexpected places. Linux on cellphones or refrigerators, just because it's so not what I envisioned it. Or on supercomputers.

Me trying to make a business around Linux would have been a total disaster.
Well, lets just say, if your VCR is still blinking 12:00, you dont want Linux.
There were open source projects and free software before Linux was there. Linux in many ways is one of the more visible and one of the bigger technical projects in this area, and it changed how people looked at it because Linux took both the practical and ideological approach.
Today I am one of the senior technical cadre that makes the Internet work, and a core Linux and open-source developer.
What we're really after is simply that people acquire a legal license for Windows for each computer they own before they move on to Linux or Sun Solaris or BSD or OS2 or whatever.
I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product.
Part of doing Linux was that I had to communicate a lot more instead of just being a geek in front of a computer.
And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.
