        Just Google for it, it was quite well publicised. He is adamant on it, he repeats it, and he has quite some reasoning on it. And it has became a point of reference for the kernel community. For example, http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002059632_linus11.html, but I think in the mailing list he expanded it quite a bit.

        Also, from a market perspective he's right. GNU/Linux is already popular enough in the Internet space, and is gaining quite some traction in the embedded market. The server is being pushed by IBM, Oracle and others. Not only the desktop is the market frontier for GNU/Linux, but also it is needed to leverage the other areas, on the theory that PHBs will push what they already know in the data center.

        I am not qualified to judge, I am just reporting. As I said, if one needs more conservativeness, Unices are still open systems.
