Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Tekmage hooked us up with an Interview with Alan Cox called "Number two -- with a bullet" that is currently running over at the Ottawa Citizen. Its a nice piece- as always, Alan is super cool. Nice picture of his "Unconventional Appearance" too ;)

  1. Good Pragmatism by xnixnix · · Score: 5

    Now I know why this guy is so successfull. Not ideologies like "Only GPL", "No KDE", "No commercialism" but pragmatism drives this man. He cares about what works, not about how the world should be like or what other ppl should do. In this way he seems alot like Linus Torvalds. To be honest I can not stand those flamers anymore who tell others what distribution, software or licences they should use. Do these ppl forget that it is about Freedom (not beer) and that there is more than one way to do it (right)
