Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!

If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works.

My one purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.

I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.

I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.

Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?

You can always affect things - so can you change it in a way that will make you as happy with it in the future as you were in the past? Maybe it won't be the same, but it might be something else you also like.

If you give a hacker a new toy the first thing hell do is take it apart to figure out how it works.
