Torvalds Tells All
Eugenia writes: "Linus Torvalds gives an interesting interview to OSNews.com, talking about everything people are wondering about his personal opinions on several matters: on the GNU/Linux naming, the GUIs currently offered for Linux, the kernel 2.6, his plans for hot-plugged devices & drivers, Microsoft, FreeBSD and the future in general."
RMS is no longer a big name, regardless of what he might wish. GNU has done loads of great work over the years, but sooner or later Stallman has to accept that he's not got the kernel. It's not his, and GNU won't be putting out Hurd. He's done a lot, but it's time for him to take a back seat.
This is the 2nd story that I found at its original source before it apeared on Slashdot.
Comon guys! Someone is getting slow.
I guess we need to get some of those Jedi Knights from the UK to use the force to help us find storys faster.
Why is it so hot? Where am I going? What am I doing in this handbasket?
.. about FreeBSD, Windows, etc etc. He's too busy watching his Transmeta shares go down the shitter.
I have lots of free time to spend in these projects (OSNews) and interviews, thank you.
Thanks to your wonderful country which does not allow me to work (I am on an H4 visa, my husband is allowed to work, but not me) I have plenty of time to fuck up with you, Macintosh bastard (check my coloured MacOSX review on OSNews next week, hehe).
If you don't like our articles, then go and play somewhere else. The web is a big place.
And don't tell me that an editor in chief should talk better because I don't give a monkey what you think.
As for being profitable, that is what it will come next. OSNews #2 is being to life only for 2 months so far!

trovalds sucks ass he is a fag bastard
Its time to put the kid gloves away....Microsoft will stop at nothing to destroy freedom of choice. We now have a choice OS x.1. We need to make sure that we build upon its greatness and make it more powerful
Why doesn't Linus care about BSD? I mean, his boyfriend has been borrowing code from the FreeBSD kernel to work on the AMX-1407 compatability layer (the ZOG 88/14 multithreading environment [f=mg]) for Linux. The problem has been finding a way to make the following statement:
V=d/t
equal to the statement:
A=v/t
Which cannot be done based on the current structure of the Linux kernel. Thus, Euronymous has been borrowing code from the FreeBSD kernel as a quick solution to the problem.
Maybe Linus should follow BSD development more closely, so that he'd have a better insight into how his own operating system is structured. Saying "I don't care about BSD" when in fact 90% of your code is taken from BSD is kind of hypocrytical, don't ya think?
