Torvalds on Opening Solaris

Posted by michael on from the writing-on-the-wall dept.

An anonymous reader sent in a link to this interview with Linus Torvalds, where the questions center on Sun's movement toward the open source world (and Linus' dismissive view of the threat posed by Solaris), as well as a few questions about 2.7 and the future of Linux.

    You are 100% correect. Linus will not look at Solaris because he knows that Linux cannot compete with it.

    If Linus were not such an arrogent retard he would have told the truth...

    "Of course I'm going to look at Solaris. It's the most stable, scalable, robust version of Unix out there. And to top it off it actually works in a production environment. Linux is still 5-10 years away from that level."

    You don't address the point that Newton thought and acted as a bitch.

    Rather, you use bold type followed by "but I think" followed by any random string.

    And then your sig is a bitches sig.
