I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.

What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.

There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.

I am very happy about Android obviously. I use Android, and it's actually made cellphones very usable.

I'm a huge believer in evolution (not in the sense that "it happened" - anybody who doesn't believe that is either uninformed or crazy, but in the sense "the processes of evolution are really fundamental, and should probably be at least thought about in pretty much any context").

I think people can generally trust me, but they can trust me exactly because they know they don't have to.

Nobody actually creates perfect code the first time around, except me. But there's only one of me.
