I'm generally a very pragmatic person: that which works, works.

I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person; it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.

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.

Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.

I don't actually go to that many conferences. I do that a couple of times a year. Normally, I am not recognized; people don't throw their panties at me. I'm a perfectly normal person sitting in my den just doing my job.
