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

Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.

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.

The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.

Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
