Linus on Linux in 1994

Posted by michael on from the rhymes-with-shyness dept.

Vrallis writes "Ten years ago this month, Linux Journal christened their maiden issue with an interview with Linus Torvalds. It is definitely worth the read, and worth some reflection on just how far Linux has come in the last decade."

    What's Linus's current relationship with beer? Does he still drink lots of it? Can I get the penguin-hoisting-a-beer-stein logo back in my kernel?

    Well, I finally got a story accepted. About time!

    The last link (to the word count) was added by the /. guys--I never had that link in there. It is hilarious, though!

    And yeah, the 'christened the maiden issue' bit was my attempt to add some creativity in hopes of acceptance.

    Finally, the title was changed as well...I think I originally put in 'Linus on Linux -- One Decade Ago' or some such. The /. editors were right in changing the title; theirs was better!
