Linux.ie: Gordon Matzigkeit [Debian & lintool developer] Interview

[ Thanks to Ken Guest for this link. ]

"Gordon Matzigkeit is best known for his work on Debian and libtool. We stole a chance for this interview with him."

"[Q:] What editor do you use?

[A:] I don't use an editor... I use a full-fledged text manipulation, windowing, and network environment. Erm, Emacs, that is."

"[Q:] What application or component is Linux most lacking?

[A:] I'm pretty happy with GNU/Linux. I'd say the most lacking component is the ability to let people safely hack the kernel, which is the feature I like most out of the Hurd. Otherwise, there's nothing else I really need."
