1:29:06
Somewhat modified of course.
1:29:10
And when people know this,
1:29:12
they'll take a look at the reasons
we developed this system.
1:29:16
They'll think about these issues.
1:29:19
And some of them will decide they agree.
1:29:22
So I ask people,
please tell the people this is the GNU system.
1:29:26
It's the combination of GNU and Linux
so we can call it GNU/Linux
1:29:38
[ So Larry, when you were at Stanford
8, 9 years ago during your Ph.D
1:29:42
did you ever think you'd be in this position? ]
1:29:44
No
1:29:45
[ All kidding aside. ]
1:29:47
No I had no idea honestly
1:29:49
[ What did you think you would be
when you were finished up with your Ph.D? ]
1:29:52
You know that's a good question,
1:29:54
I really didn't have a good idea, I mean.
1:29:57
Here we are, on this huge show floor.
1:30:01
There are people just going crazy about Linux.
1:30:04
We had 6,200 people crammed into a room
1:30:08
to see the Linux, Linus speak last night.
1:30:12
Here we are, with, you know,
1:30:14
all of these huge venders all over the show.
1:30:18
I..It's, just, you have no idea that
this is gonna happen.
1:30:21
I mean this is just this little operating system
that we're happy with.
1:30:25
that a few people cared about, you know,
1:30:27
I thought I'd have a nice little
consulting business.
1:30:29
And here I am suddenly,
1:30:31
with all of this huge show going on.
1:30:34
It's just incredible.
1:30:35
I mean, a year ago, you could look and say,
you know, this is gonna be big
1:30:39
and everyone standing at the show going
1:30:41
"You know the show was big last year,
1:30:44
is it gonna, is it gonna be as big as this year?"
1:30:48
The you remind them
1:30:49
"You know, last year was only 6 month ago."
1:30:52
And then they go "Oh, , Linux time".
