“The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, alth…” — Linus Torvalds

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don't remember the last time I couldn't walk around in shorts all day.

I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places.

I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
