for this link. ]

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.”
