Nobody actually creates perfect code the first time around, except me. But there's only one of me.

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.

While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.

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.

The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.

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 want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room - by far - should be the occasional purring of the cat.
