Waving away a cloud of smoke, I look up, and am blinded by a bright, whitelight. It's God. No, not Richard Stallman, or Linus Torvalds, but God. In a booming voice, He says: "THIS IS A SIGN. USE LINUX, THE FREE UNIX SYSTEM FOR THE 386."

Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God).

If you're masochistic enough to program in ADA, we're not going to stop you.

We wanted to finish off well. I'm just amazed by how much fight we had at the end of the week. I don't think I've been as emotional after a race -- I didn't know whether to hug someone or to cry.

No. That's it. The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able to say "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What a cool name". 386BSD made the mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too technical.

I've personally used e2fsprogs 1.05 to make a 54bib partition. That's a lot of bibs. I thought a double chin was a lot, but to need 54 bibs, it would have to be a FAT partition.
