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.)
