A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
Nat Friedman

All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
Steve Wozniak

And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.
Jamie Zawinski

Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.
Linus Torvalds

Big Linux deployments have reached the point where it's become a real problem for administrators that they don't have nice tools to manage their servers and desktops.
Nat Friedman

Cosmoe works on any of the standard filesystems available for Linux.
Bill Hayden

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
Linus Torvalds

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

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.
Linus Torvalds

I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product.
Linus Torvalds

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.
Linus Torvalds

I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.

Jamie Zawinski

I think that by October the whole company has to migrate to OpenOffice, and then I think it's by June next year we all migrate to Linux - you don't want to migrate 6,000 people both operating system and office suite in a single jump.
Miguel de Icaza

I think that Microsoft will increasingly feel margin pressure from Linux as well as people saying: well actually the applications that really matter to me are not on my PC. And so they're going to be able to extract less of a monopoly rent, so to speak.
Tim O'Reilly

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linus Torvalds

I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and they've been perfectly happy to keep me employed and doing Linux.
Linus Torvalds

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.
Linus Torvalds

I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
Linus Torvalds

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
