You don't like something that Linus said (and he was misquoted from 
what I understand) fine. Don't use Linux if you feel that strongly, 
no one is going to force you.
Personally, I don't see why Linux the OS should be judged by what 
Linus the programmer said. I think Steve Jobs is a nut case and too 
full of himself but I still use and like MacOS. I'm sure that one of 
the heads of the NetBSD team has done something I might not agree 
with but I'm still here.
Please, if you have an issue with Linus and/or his OS them take it up 
with him. If you need help with NetBSD stick around. Fighting over 
OS's is useless.
