Linus Torvalds: Fedora User

[Rodrigo Padula]

Interview with Linus Torvalds

A curiosity: which is your favourite distribution, and which on e do you
consider more secure?

I don't really tend to care much, I've changed distributions over the years,
and to me the most important thing tends to be that they are easy to install
and upgrade, and allow me to do the only part I really care about - the
kernel.

So the only major distribution I've never used has actually been Debian,
exactly because that has traditionally been harder to install. Which sounds
kind of strange, since Debian is also considered to be the "hard-core
technical" distribution, but that's literally exactly what I personally do *
not* want in a distro. I'll take the nice ones with simple installers etc,
because to me, that's the whole and only point of using a distribution in
the first place.

So I've used SuSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, YDL (I ran my main setup on
PowerPC-based machines for a while, and YDL - Yellow Dog Linux - ended up
the easiest choice). Right now, most of my machines seem to have Fedora 7 on
then, but that's only a statement of fact, not meant to be that I think it's
necessarily "better" than the other distros.
