“…The release of Midori Linux could raise conflict of
interest questions for Torvalds.“
“Torvalds has the last word on new features in the Linux kernel,
and has avoided working for Linux distributors to maintain his
neutrality.”
“But now that the company he works for has released Linux
software, does Transmeta have a fast track to new features
beneficial to the company? “
“Adding fuel to the fire, there have been complaints recently
that Linux hasn’t addressed the needs of computer manufacturers at
the other end of the scale — makers of the “big iron” that run
server farms and data processing centers.”
