At about 0:49:00 Linus answers to the problem that people send him patches that don’t get even looked at. Look at the new answer too with Linus talking about git which solves this problem – search Linus git.

Ther is Virus Scanning software for Linux.
Although as there is so few viruses for Linux its mostly used to scan for Windows Viruses.
Inside ex. E-Mails or remote scans of a Windows box.

if there is no scanning software, how can you be sure there is no virus. LOL.

It’s incredible, that he was messing around on computers, and ended up producing the Linux system that I am watching this video with, and also writing this comment with !
Thanks Linus, for helping me escape the grip of Micro$oft

when he says PC he means his Personal COmputer not “mac users thinking” of “Windows” !

The “September 19, 2001″ at the beginning didn’t tip you off?
December 11th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Can we assume this is rather old (2001?!) since he refers to “10 years” a lot and the fact that SMP/clustering is not really important.
December 11th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
haha, burn!
December 11th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
But you use windows.. So :/
