    LINUS COULD CLAIM TO BE JESUS CHRIST ... and all the Linux geeks in the world would follow and worship him like deciples.
    Precisely why I wish he would start setting standards for the Linux community. He needs to pick which one should be the standard, KDE or GNOME? Which distro? Apt-get, RPM, or portage? If Linus told us which ones to use, the Linux community would unite under him "like deciples." For reasons I cannot possibly fathom, he doesn't want to do that. He wants to let us all fight among ourselves concerning standards and now Linux is the most fragmented OS in existence.
