:35:00
Well, Well, is it true? Well, you can judge.
:35:05
You know most people end up spending a lot of their time
:35:09
becoming more productive so that
:35:11
they ever actually worked on their thesis
they'd finish it in a day.
:35:15
It takes a while sometimes.
:35:17
So I decided that I wanted a Unix machine at home.
:35:20
And I went out there I was able to
use Linux together with the PC.
:35:25
For about 2,000 dollars, I put together a system.
:35:29
That was one and a half to two times faster
:35:33
than that 7,000 dollars Sun Sparc Station.
:35:36
It was absolutely amazing.
:35:38
I had one and a half to two times the speed,
:35:42
at a third to fourth the price.
:35:45
Light bulbs went off.
:35:46
I knew there was an opportunity here.
:35:49
This was the chance to really do something
better than what Sun has done
:35:54
around Open Source and Linux.
:35:57
I called it Linux originally as working name.
:36:01
And that was just because "Linus"
:36:05
and the "X" has to be there.
:36:07
It's Unix. It's like a law.
:36:11
And...what happened was that...
:36:14
I initially thought that I can't call it Linux publicly,
:36:19
because it is just too egotistical.
:36:21
And that was before I had a big ego. Right?
:36:24
They thought they were taking a whole bunch
of components putting them around Linux
:36:30
So they ended up calling the whole thing
"A Linux System"
:36:35
and somehow that term caught on.
:36:37
And the result is
:36:39
there are now ten million people using
:36:44
this variant of the GNU system...
:36:45
the GNU/Linux operating system.
:36:49
And most of them don't know it.
:36:51
[ Some people advocate it be described as GNU/Linux.
:36:56
I mean what's your thought on
that? I would say, justify or... ]
