A Brilliant Mind: SUSE's Kernel Guru Speaks

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 20, 2014 @08:03AM from the celebrities-are-the-ones-you-celebrate dept.

An anonymous reader writes The man who in every sense sits at the nerve centre of SUSE Linux has no airs about him. At 38, Vojtch Pavlík is disarmingly frank and often seems a bit embarrassed to talk about his achievements, which are many and varied. He is every bit a nerd, but can be candid, though precise. As director of SUSE Labs, it would be no exaggeration to call him the company's kernel guru. Both recent innovations that have come from SUSE — patching a live kernel, technology called kGraft, and creating a means for booting openSUSE on machines locked down with secure boot, have been his babies.

Re:Do you think systemd sucks? by Anonymous Coward · 2014-11-20 08:37 · Score: -1, Flamebait

The only people against tools like systemd are the wannabes (network admins) who are nothing more than users with a better password (the real pros are coders who make tools for dolts like them, so they can actually function). Take away their puny little "knowledge" (an idiot can read some manuals and learn about IP + networking easily enough) with tools like systemd? These computing failure wannabes (network admins and their techs) fear for their livelyhoods. Yes, folks: It's TRULY that simple (+ yes, easy to see through).
