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

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.

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

So I decided that if the architecture is fundamentally sane enough, say it follows some basic rules like it supported paging , then I would be able to say, yes, Linux fundamentally supports that model.
