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

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.

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

In many ways, I am very happy about the whole Linux commercial market because the commercial market is doing all these things that I have absolutely zero interest in doing myself.

Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.

It's a personality trait: from the very beginning, I knew what I was concentrating on. I'm only doing the kernel - I always found everything around it to be completely boring.

I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person; it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.
