I’ve used Linux Mint on my laptop for 5 years and use Windoze only for programs that I absolutely cannot find on Linux. If it requires a reboot, it is done in 2 minutes. NO 45 minute reboot and updates.

I wish government was like Linux ... in the sense that though it's literally everywhere, you wouldn't know it, because it stays in the background out of your way and just works extremely well without intruding or imposing anything upon you.

I met Linus online at that time. We ported what we were doing on SCO to Linux. Linux has been very very good to me.

Linux wasn’t ‘born,’ it was grafted off UNIX. The output from “data +%s” is proof of that.

In its tiny little penguin heart, Linux believes it was born on January 1st, 1970.

Ah the good old days when I didn’t need Winblows. a 200mhz pentium with Open Office (I think that is what the M$ office clone was) was all I needed. Now I’m stuck with garbage Windows.
