Guys, this isn't a dick-sucking contest
Linus Torvalds, February 2013.
]]>If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
- Linus Torvalds
*looking at Skype and Hyper-V contributions to the Kernel.*
"Regression testing"? What's that? If it compiles, it is good; if it boots up, it is perfect.
- Linus Torvalds
]]>Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They’d be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
Linus Torvalds

Makes you wonder why daemons on Linux aren't called penguins? Hmm...got to be more careful here somebody else already said thatWe should start referring to processes which run in the background by their correct technical name... paenguins. -- Kevin M. Bealer, commenting on the penguin Linux logo
No, that's my avatar, and it's Opus from Bloom County. The sig is the quote down below.
As long as it's still a penguin, (and I haven't lost my mind).

We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
I develop for Linux for a living, I used to develop for DOS.
Going from DOS to Linux is like trading a glider for an F117.
One OS to rule them all,
One OS to find them.
One OS to call them all,
And in salvation bind them.
In the bright land of Linux,
Where the hackers play.
Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it.
If Bill Gates is the Devil then Linus Torvalds must be the Messiah.
Be warned that typing killall name may not have the desired effect on non-Linux systems, especially when done by a privileged user.
The above has to be my favorite, brings back memories of Windows.

I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got minix.
