Hans Reiser: Once a Linux Visionary, Now Accused of Murder.
by Joshua Davis.
Arraigned for murder in October 2006, Reiser is being held in Santa Rita
Jail near San Francisco.
Hans Reiser is waiting for me, standing on the other side of an
imitation-wood table. The room is small, the concrete walls bare. A
guard locks the steel door from the outside. There is no sound. Reiser
is wearing the red jumpsuit of a prisoner in solitary confinement,
though he has been allowed to meet with me in this chilly visiting room.
There was a time when he was known as a cantankerous but visionary open
source programmer. His work was funded by the government; he was widely
credited (and sometimes reviled) for rethinking the structure of the
Linux operating system. Now he is known as prisoner BFP563.
