If you like using CVS, you should be in some kind of mental institution or somewhere else.
Linus Torvalds
I'd argue that everybody wants to do something that matters, and the fact that Linux has had a huge impact on the tech market and is used virtually everywhere is obviously very personally satisfying. I think programming is fun, and the community around the kernel is great, but a project has to be relevant too.
Linus Torvalds
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.
Linus Torvalds
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
