Brian Stevens Quotations

We have seen no traction for CPU-aggregation technology such as Virtual Iron's within our customer base.

With most customers, we have a relationship that started that way. Every financial services company, the Department of Energy--almost everyone got Linux in a nonstandard way on their own. That's not where their competence is. They've got a lot of other problems than building Linux distributions.

With stateless Linux we can get to one image for all the systems. You can extract-out the common information, and the only things that are different are things like IP addresses. You can manage a thousand systems easily this way.

We had a play called; if it didn't work, we wanted to hold the ball for the last shot.

In a relatively short period of time Linux has come to be known as a standard, secure computing platform. This new level of certification is a testament to the power of collaboration. IBM, TCS, the NSA, Red Hat and the community have worked together to bring the Linux platform forward with rapid innovation in the area of security. This collaboration and evaluation effort will make Red Hat Enterprise Linux the most secure open source operating system platform available.

In no way are we pretending that we're going to raise all of the money for all of the kids. And the trip is not required.

I think i n our division, the other teams knew we were gonna be pretty good. Maybe in the media, we didn't look like the team to beat. But we had a good junior class coming up and three of the guys had played varsity basketball a year ago.

Using stateless Linux for all those physical systems allows IT a lot of scale.

We just made some bad decisions leading to turnovers. We didn't close down on their outside shooters in some key spots and they knocked the shots down.

I think everybody's very excited about the possibility.
