Alan Cox Exits Intel, Linux Development

Posted by timothy on from the deserves-all-kinds-of-awards dept.

judgecorp writes "Linux kernel developer Alan Cox has left Intel and Linux development after slamming the Fedora 18 distribution. He made the announcement on Google+ and promised that he had not fallen out with Linus Torvalds, and would finish up all outstanding work." Also at Live Mint, which calls Cox's resignation notice a "welcome change from the sterility, plain dishonesty of CEO departure statements." Cox says in that statement that he's leaving "for a bit," and "I may be back at some point in the future - who knows."

    WTF Geekwire?? Do you idiots even read the crap you are "reporting" on???? FTFA: "Dear Slashdot, switching one system that run Ubuntu in a VM to Fedora into running Ubuntu does not constitute 'switching to Ubuntu'. I've been running Unbuntu for some jobs (like building Android images) for ages 8). In fact I run several distros (Fedora still included) And for that matter my goldfish boot/stress test image is a hacked Debian fs image...". This was posted by Cox LAST NIGHT.
