One of the things that hamper Linux's climb to world domination is the shortage of bad Computer Role Playing Games, or CRaPGs. No operating system can be considered respectable without one. (Quote by - Brian O'Donnell)
I've personally used e2fsprogs 1.05 to make a 54bib partition. That's a lot of bibs. I thought a double chin was a lot, but to need 54 bibs, it would have to be a FAT partition. (Quote by - Kevin M Bealer)
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. (Quote by - Linus Torvalds)
Sigh. I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice. (Quote by - Craig E. Groeschel)
I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design . (Quote by - Andrew Tanenbaum to Linus Torvalds)
Being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed. (Quote by - Unix for Dummies)
A multithreaded file system is only a performance hack. (Quote by - Andrew Tanenbaum to Linus Torvalds)
Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking . (Quote by - Matt Welsh)
I've discovered that using VMS is a lot like driving a nail with your head: sure, you eventually get something practical done, but it usually results in a headache and some blood loss. (Quote by - Sean A. Simpson)
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had. (Quote by - Linus Torvalds)
Intel engineering seem to have misheard Intel marketing strategy. The phrase was "Divide and conquer" not "Divide and cock up" (Quote by - Alan Cox)
By golly, I'm beginning to think Linux really *is* the best thing sincesliced bread. (Quote by - Vance Petree)
Waving away a cloud of smoke, I look up, and am blinded by a bright, whitelight. It's God. No, not Richard Stallman, or Linus Torvalds, but God. In a booming voice, He says: "THIS IS A SIGN. USE LINUX, THE FREE UNIX SYSTEM FOR THE 386." (Quote by - Matt Welsh)
Anyone can build a fast processor. The trick is to build a fast system. (Quote by - Seymour Cray)
