More quotes by Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons I like open source is that it allows people to work on the parts they are good at, and I don't mean just on a technical level some people are into the whole selling and support, and that's just not me.
Linus Torvalds
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Linus Torvalds
Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.
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
If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds
Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we're kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce.
Linus Torvalds
People enjoy the interaction on the Internet, and the feeling of belonging to a group that does something interesting: that's how some software projects are born.
Linus Torvalds
One of the questions I've always hated answering is how do people make money in open source. And I think that Caldera and Red Hat - and there are a number of other Linux companies going public - basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.
Linus Torvalds
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money.
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
All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less
Linus Torvalds
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.
Linus Torvalds
Generally, the best way to learn git is probably to first only do very basic things and not even look at some of the things you can do until you are familiar and confident about the basics.
Linus Torvalds
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
If you like using CVS, you should be in some kind of mental institution or somewhere else.
