On a purely technical side, I'm really very happy with how Linux gets used in a very wide set of different areas. It's important for development.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there.

I'm a big non-believer in manual driver and kernel configuration, be it visual or not.

I changed the Linux copyright license to be the GPL some time in the first half of 1992. Mostly because I had hated the lack of a cheaply and easily available UNIX when I had looked for one a year before.

Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

The Linux philosophy is "laugh in the face of danger". Oops. Wrong one. "Do it yourself". That's it.

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