10/18/2008  
Relevance: 6.72
Yesterday we shared that the patches for Intel's GEM (the Graphics Execution Manager) were submitted for inclusion into Linux 2.6.28. Those patches that added in GEM along with a few other Direct Rendering Manager improvements have landed into the mainline Linux git tree, but not without commentary from Linus Torvalds.

Unjustifiable Criticism of Richard Stallman by Linus Torvalds

11/20/2008  
Relevance: 6.47
A recent attack piece against Richard Stallman was written by Linus Torvalds on the eve of Obama’s election. Black and white by Linus Torvalds Linus begins with this: So I’m pretty well-known for not exactly being a huge fan of the FSF and Richard Stallman, despite the fact that I obviously love the GPLv2 and use it as the license for all my projects that I care about. How unfortunate to write negatively of Stallman in the very first sentence. Read the full story atFreesoftware Magazine.

CBR listed the ten best Linus Torvalds quotes.

Relevance: 6.10

What Linus Torvalds thinks about BSD

07/17/2008  
Relevance: 5.91
Linus Torvalds - the creator of Linus and its current maintainer - is by all account a brilliant human being. He can also be incredibly crass and rude. Case in point is a post he made to the Linux Kernel mailing list (LKML) yesterday, where he offered his opinion on security research and specifically the OpenBSD operating system (which is security centric). It's soo rude that it's 'funny' - that is if you're not an OpenBSD developer or have a particular affection for monkeys.'

Relevance: 5.88
One month ago LINUX For You magazine made a call to the Linux/OSS community to send in questions it has for Linus Torvalds. We were overwhelmed by the amount of questions we recieved. It took us a whole night to sort out the best ones. The final setlist? 35 questions. We did not number them just so he doesn't get frightened by just that number. In fact, we had his answers within hours; makes me think we could have sent him a few more? Anyway, without furthur ado, here's Linus Torvalds: blunt, excellent and descriptive...

Linus Torvalds talks future of Linux

08/23/2007  
Relevance: 5.79
The development of the kernel has changed, and Linux is just getting better and better. However, with a community as large and fractured as the Linux community, it can sometimes be hard to get a big picture overview of where Linux is going: what's happening with kernel version 2.6? Will there be a version 3.0? What has Linus been up to lately? What does he get up to in his spare time? I had the opportunity to chat with the original creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, in a number of email exchanges.

Kernel Evolution

02/19/2008  
Relevance: 5.60
"To quote you a number of years ago: 'Linux is evolution, not intelligent design'," noted Greg KH, quoting Linux creator Linus Torvalds. Linus expanded on the statement,"evolution often does odd (and 'suboptimal') things exactly because it does incremental changes that DO NOT BREAK at any point." He continued,"in other words, exactly *because* evolution requires 'bisectability' (any non-viable point in between is a dead end by definition) and does things incrementally, it doesn't do big flips." When alternative examples in evolution were pointed out, Linus suggested that the kernel was much simpler than a mammal and more similar to bacteria:..
