I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and they've been perfectly happy to keep me employed and doing Linux.

If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it.

If you think penguins are fat and waddle, you have never been attacked by one running at you in excess of 100 miles per hour.

I don't actually follow other operating systems much. I don't compete - I just worry about making Linux better than itself, not others.

The idea of abstracting away the one thing that must be blindingly fast, the kernel, is inherently counter productive.

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works but only want to use it is not only a tribute to how good Linux is, but it also brings up issues that I would never have thought of otherwise.

No problem is too big it can't be run away from
