More quotes by Linus Torvalds
We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
Linus Torvalds
When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'
Linus Torvalds
You know, the mark of intelligence is realizing when you're making the same mistake over and over and over again, and not hitting your head in the wall five hundred times before you understand that it's not a clever thing to do.
Linus Torvalds
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.
Linus Torvalds
I made very sure that I did not get involved with any of the commercial Linux companies, exactly so that I would be neutral and not ever seen as working for the competition.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.

It just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about public humiliation.
Linus Torvalds
I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and that has been paying my bills. Obviously a ''real job'' pays better than most universities will pay, but I've been very happy with this arrangement I get to do whatever I want, and I have no commercial pressures whatsoever doing this.
Linus Torvalds
The fact is, there aren't just two sides to any issue, there's almost always a range of responses, and it depends is almost always the right answer in any big question.
Linus Torvalds
What commercialism has brought to Linux has been the incentive to make a good distribution that is easy to use and that has all the packaging issues worked out.
Linus Torvalds
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.
Linus Torvalds
The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.
Linus Torvalds
And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.
Linus Torvalds
Software is like sex. It's only good when it's for free.
Linus Torvalds
Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.
Linus Torvalds
Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
Linus Torvalds
It was such a relief to program in user mode for a change. Not having to care about the small stuff is wonderful.
Linus Torvalds
The Linux philosophy is laugh in the face of danger. Oops. Wrong one. Do it yourself. That's it.
Linus Torvalds
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linus Torvalds
I really never wanted to do source control management at all and felt that it was just about the least interesting thing in the computing world .
