Hi, Over the last weekend there was an interview with Linus torvalds in Yedioth Ahronot..
As usual mr. Dudi Goldman made some mistakes 1. Linus didn't exactly helped or encouraged people to port Linux to non x86 platforms, on the contrary - he stated that he used every trick on the book to make his kernel works the best with x86 processors, so he didn't see any point of porting linux to non-x86. 2. Contrary to the belief - you CAN charge money for a GPL application (provided that it comes with the source, and for a "reasonable amount"). Of course you can once you got the software to copy it to the whole world, but the main point is that you can charge for an application... Now - lets leave those 2 mistakes. one thing that I found a bit un-clear is that IBM is making Linux to work perfectly with hebrew. Now - I know that IBM helped with Mozilla and are translating Star Office - but calling those 2 parts "making linux work with hebrew"? Don't get my wrong - The IBM work on those 2 projects is very welcome to the IL linux community, but is there something more that IBM didn't reveal and planning to reveal next month?
