“Love threw a damp towel on the revolutionary sentiments
surrounding the open-source operating system and instead espoused
an evolutionary approach to building momentum behind Linux. His
fear is that in pushing the overthrow of the existing technological
infrastructure, many options could be silenced.

“In the revolutionary’s mad rush for total upheaval — the ‘out
with the old and in with the new’ — many who are conscripted into
the revolution are left without a voice, and many are left without
a vote on the change,” Love said….”

“Love’s road map for that evolution would take Linux from being
a packaged OS to products that include a subset of all the OS
features, products that make installation of the OS easier, and
tools that make management and administration of Linux easier.”
