Part of doing Linux was that I had to communicate a lot more instead of just being a geek in front of a computer.

To be a nemesis, you have to actively try to destroy something, don't you? Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.

Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.

The idea of abstracting away the one thing that must be blindingly fast, the kernel, is inherently counter productive.

We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.

Every once in a while an issue comes up where I have to make a statement. I can't totally avoid all political issues, but I try my best to minimize them. When I do make a statement, I try to be fairly neutral.
