- "Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain
why I should use Linux over BSD? No. That's it. The cool name, that is. We
worked very hard on creating a name that would appeal to the majority of
people, and it certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just
to be able to say "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What a cool name". 386BSD made
the mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the
name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too
technical."
(Linus Torvalds' follow-up to a question about Linux)
- "The day people think linux would be better served by somebody else
(FSF being the natural alternative), I'll "abdicate". I don't think that
it's something people have to worry about right now - I don't see it
happening in the near future. I enjoy doing linux, even though it does mean
some work, and I haven't gotten any complaints (some almost timid reminders
about a patch I have forgotten or ignored, but nothing negative so far).
Don't take the above to mean that I'll stop the day somebody complains: I'm
thick-skinned (Lasu, who is reading this over my shoulder commented that
"thick-HEADED is closer to the truth") enough to take some abuse. If I
weren't, I'd have stopped developing linux the day ast ridiculed me on
c.o.minix. What I mean is just that while linux has been my baby so
far, I don't want to stand in the way if people want to make something
better of it."
