The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it.

The cyberspace earnings I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me, and that I can depend on in return.

That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle.

Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.

I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and they've been perfectly happy to keep me employed and doing Linux.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.

I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product.

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.

I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places.

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.

All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.

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.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.

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!
