When you come from a family of communists and you go through your teenage rebellion, what’s the best way of rebelling from a family of communists? Well, I put on a suit and tie and became a capitalist… There was nothing I could do to upset my family more than that.
I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.
I’m interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn’t started as any kind of rebellion against the ‘evil Microsoft empire.’

It wasn’t really part of the program in the Perot family. Rebellion was not an option.
