People
"I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can."
Technology
"Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all."
Question
"I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product."
Success
"There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is."
Care
"I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places."
Employment

Fun
"I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs."
Politics

Positive
"Programmers are in the enviable position of not only getting to do what they want to, but because the end result is so important they get paid to do it. There are other professions like that, but not that many."
