From the article: 'In a funny way, my resignation is perhaps the finest compliment I can pay to everyone associated with Red Hat today, I have complete confidence in the future of the company'"

lvl-50-ceo-lfg Who'd want to quest with someone who's going to take all the loot?

When you've just aggroed Microsoft, who is level 500 and has an Area of Effect: Death spell that it can cast on an entire industry every couple of seconds, perhaps someone clad in an all-purple Penguin Suit doesn't look so bad.

To anyone who says this comment is nerdy: consider where you are. Glass houses, stones, etc.

again,"")
4:Immature Prat (Act like a total tit and say ""I'm going to fucking kill Google."")

The math is simple and the handwriting is on the wall. No, Netcraft does not confirm this, but Bob figured out that hard drives double in size about every two years. A base Redhat install doubles in size every 9 months. It will be less than 6 years before a Redhat desktop install requires 512 gigs, and shortly after that, the requirements will surpass the largest drives available on the market. He's escaped, and will slowly sell off his stock, take the money and walk way.

Also, I hear he runs Slackware now.
