Übersicht
H.J. Lu first discovered Linux almost a decade ago in
1990, while he was a student looking for a ``decent OS'' for his 16MHz
386sx with only 4MB RAM--a common theme among many of our original
kernel hackers. Not a big fan of Windows, and unable to get his hands on
BSD, H.J. not only started running Linux, but soon got involved with
Linux development. ``Many things didn't work and I needed them,'' he
says.
As a Linux developer, H.J. worked on the kernel's C library, binutils
and gcc, the latter a project he had been working on before he even
learned about Linux. Similarly, H.J. had learned about the GNU
project--which he calls ``very crucial to Linux''--before starting on
Linux, as well.
Without a doubt, having access to the source code is what made (and
makes) Linux worthwhile to H.J. ``We can fix it if it doesn't work,'' he
emphasizes. At the same time, H.J. is undaunted by the increasing
commercial interest in Linux. ``I think Linux will attract commercial
developers who are threatened by Microsoft and want to make money on
Linux,'' he says. Given the fact that H.J. works for VA Linux Systems,
it is perhaps no surprise that he is less intimidated by commercial
interests than others may be.
I don't mind that people profit from my work. I do it because I enjoy
it--it is not bad to get paid to do what you enjoy.
Where does Linux need to go from here? H.J. has a couple of areas he
would like to see worked on further, including a journaling file system,
``decent NFS'' and improved VM and networking. As for the Linux-on-the-
desktop battle, he is convinced that more desktop applications will be
important in winning over more end-user converts, whether the
applications are commercial or free. ``But the basic stuff,'' he adds,
``should be free.''
