Which distro does Trovalds use ?
 

Hey fellas,
Does anyone have an idea of which distro does the man Trovalds use himself ?

In his book 'Just for fun', I believe he wrote he uses RedHat at work and Suse at home. Sounds weird, doesn't it? I mean, RPM based distributions for someone who actually programmed the linux kernel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's Torvalds.

Moved: More suitable in General, not a technical question.

And yes, he's a Suse man from what I've read. I don't think he has Redhat anymore since well, he works from home now.. ;)

See that really cool looking search link, try it, it works

yea that is kind of weird .. if i was him id make my own distro

Why? He already develops the kernel all distro's use. And why create "Yet Another Distro" when the majority of the existing ones work?

I'm sure since he's maintaining the kernel, he wouldn't have the time to make his own even if he wanted to..

He could always use Linux from scratch. That would then be his since he made it. May have to re-focus his attention on the kernel after that though. I hear it is a tough install, build or whatever you call it.

Later

:D :D :D :D :D

And also for the more curious people out there, suprisingly in Linux Magazines January issue with a interview of Mr. Torvalds, he mentioned in the interview his home machine is a Apple Dual G5 running Linux.. not MacOS.. ;)

Yah, I'd expect a distro like SuSE.

I mean, when you are digging through kernel code all day, a distro that does most of the hard stuff for you would just make sense.

Actually I think its the "being a european" and I think he said its a well rounded desktop distro to use, along with supporting it since it was based out of Europe..

....but now its owned by Novell :p
