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

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.

I have an ego the size of a small planet.

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.

I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the "pay for use" binary shareware programs.

I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm also not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords.

I am pragmatic. That which works, works, and theory can go screw itself. However, my pragmatism also extends to maintainability, which is why I also want it done well.
