Linus Retiring from Kernel Dev

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the been-a-long-time-coming dept.

looflirpa writes "Here is a post from Linus Torvalds. Seems like he has had enough linux for now, and is searching for a new leader for the linux kernel development. Certainly a shame, but everybody knew that this had to happen, sooner or later" This also is your chance to voice who should take the reins from the kernel's originator.

    And a big "thumbs up" to everyone who modded this up! A perfect response on this day. :)

    I shudder to think what would happen if today would see real news akin to this...

    It has more than a little echo of Lenin's final letter as he lay dying, where he gives a balanced appraisal of all his potential successors.

    The only problem is that he didn't think any of them were any good.

    I wonder how many other people caught that reference? The fact that it came from Russia triggered my memory; it's exactly the type of thing a Russian would write.

    Funny idea.
