Greg Kroah-Hartman gave the closing keynote at this year’s Linux Symposium. The text of this speech is online (Myths, Lies, and Truths about the Linux kernel); I found it very interesting how Greg K-H demolished several myths about the kernel, in particular device support and the idea that binary blobs of drivers are legal. (They aren’t. I just now figured out Linus’ argument about them; it’s very clever.)


Abnormal program termination.
Where online? I cannot find it.

Everyone should read his keynote. Very interesting, very well written, and very good for debunking the FUD out there. Thanks for posting this.
Oops. I don't know how I deleted the link before I posted this entry, but I've put it back in. Thanks for catching that, Stéphane and APC!
What is Linus' argument against them?
