In this dialogue, the creator of the Linux operating system, which runs everything from Google to the New York Stock Exchange to Japan's high speed train system, describes his evolution from pupil hacker to the creator of open source leader Linux.
He touches on the unique virtues of open cooperation, the perils of centralized vs. distributed environments, and why Linux is even more fascinating from a societal perspective than from a technical perspective.
