An anonymous reader writes "KernelTrap has a fascinating and lengthy interview with Richard Stallman who founded the GNU Project in 1984, and the Free Software Foundation in 1985. He also originally authored a number of well known and highly used development tools, including the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU symbolic debugger (GDB) and GNU Emacs. The interview covers a wide range of topics, from rms's early years, to his current role in the Free Software Foundation. He discusses the current state of GNU/Hurd, the problems with non-free software, and much more."

"It's the GNU operating system, and the Hurd is its kernel."
Sounds like "There is no God but Allah; Mohammed is His Prophet".

I care about the idealogical bents of Richard Stallman. I am a consumer and a producer. Please don't speak in my place, especially without my permission. I shall refrain from speaking in your place, albeit I had beans yesterday...

The death announcment of OS is a little premature.
You're right. We should wait until Netcraft confirms it.

- RMS was useful at one time but he should now leave serious persons do the real work.
- RMS is too extreme
- RMS is a crackpot
- RMS is a communist
- RMS is a dirty hippy that smells bad

Let's add:

- RMS Rocks
- RMS is CowboyNeal in disguise

and have ourselves a poll!

I can't believe can programmer he doesn't get the fact that gnu linux spell like NEW Linux and every one I know who heard that has always answered : what ? there's a new linux ?,

He not pronounce the GNU "NU", it is be pronounced "GUH-NU". The G-letter be's not silent so. Feel bad, don't. Even the people speak the English got wrong this one often.
