Fairly cheap home computing was what changed my life.

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

I don't go to conferences quite as much as I used to: having a child and movin away from the university leaves me with less time, but I've tried to balance things out - not just spending time with Linux all the time, but having a real job and a real life at the same time.

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 obviously think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works but only want to use it is not only a tribute to how good Linux is, but it also brings up issues that I would never have thought of otherwise.

Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.
