Linus Torvalds visits Google to share his thoughts on git, the source control management system he created two years ago.

He slams CVS and Subversion really badly -- maybe a little too badly?

Linus reflects on 18 years of working on Linux, the developer ecosystem and his goal for Linux on the desktop.

In part 2 of our interview, Linus talks about the process of managing kernel developer commits, selecting a revision control system and how he personally uses git.

It is rather amusing to find that for the second time in about a month, Linus announced Linux (-rc3) in the mailing lists and calls the kernel "Linus" (in the headline). Here is the latest incident. Surely it's just a typo or a Freudian slip, not a matter of ego.

If you've been following Linus on Twitter lately -- okay, the fake Linus -- then you've probably learned more about him in the last three weeks then you ever wanted to know. I, however, had a few lingering questions.

Linus is always right: SVN users are stupids, GIT is superior. I am now starting to move my personal projects from SVN to GIT.

Really I guess Linus doesn't see the Linux development model as being very unique in the open source world, even though it is. Or maybe Linus is a bit like the Douglas Adam character who considers his house the "outside of the insane asylum" and the rest of the world the "insane asylum" - we're all just crazy.

Linus Torvalds is remarkable, not only for being the technical genius who wrote Linux, but for then being able to inspire and lead an enormous team of people to devote their free time to work on the operating system and bring it to maturity. We sent Richard Morris off to interview Linus, and find out more.

A recent attack piece against Richard Stallman was written by Linus Torvalds on the eve of Obama’s election.
