Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but to Lin Zheng's surprise, 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel did not have any dissatisfaction with Lin Zheng's words, on the contrary, they naturally accepted Lin Zheng's explanation.

Lin Zheng then remembered that the 1inux exhibition is really like what he said, relying on the spark of thought of various 1inux enthusiasts to show up to now, every crazy 1inux enthusiast has contributed their own wisdom to the 1inux exhibition, 1inux operating system in many classic codes is the flash of inspiration of these enthusiasts, this kind of flash of inspiration is really nothing to say, but also like an antelope hanging horns without a trace, this time can come up with, Not necessarily next time, if you have to let people say that you are ugly? I can't really say anything like that.

1inuxtorva1ds didn't know that Lin Zheng still had so many little Jiujiu in his heart, they were just strange, "Mr. Lin, I admire your attainments in UNIX very much, but with all due respect, it seems that your name is not among the more famous software experts in the world......"

1inuxtorva1ds and Briel's strangeness does make sense, with Lin Zheng's many unique insights on the UNIX operating system, UNIX-like operating system and 1inux operating system embodied at this moment, this should be a very famous person in this circle, but why have you never heard of this person's name before?

"This problem is actually 'attributed' to our country's online exhibition," Lin Zheng said with a wry smile. "Maybe the two of you can't understand that China was only allowed to access the Internet last year, and only completed all the networking work in May last year...... It is a network with an exit of only 2m. ”

1inuxtorva1ds and Briel are completely stupid. The two of them looked at each other for half a minute before they said in unison, "You China only connected to the Internet last year?" ”

"It's not hard to verify, I don't have to lie about it, right?" Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

"Of course, of course," 1inuxtorva1ds hurriedly waved his hand, "Lin, I'm sorry. We definitely didn't doubt you, we just ...... Very surprised, very surprised......"

Since he came into contact with Lin Zheng on the plane. 1inuxtorva1ds has a lot of interest in Lin Zheng and China, and he has learned a lot about China with Briel's network in the past few days, but the only thing he didn't expect is that China's network situation is so bad that it is so bad. It is the world's most populous country with a population of 1.1 billion. Did you access the Internet last year? The total egress bandwidth is only 2M?

Of course, they would not doubt Lin Zheng's words, because Lin Zheng had no need to lie at all, but in this way, they completely "understood" why they had not heard the name of Lin Zheng, a 1inux master, before this, because 1inux enthusiasts basically communicate through the guò network, and Lin, who does not have the Internet, naturally has no way to communicate with everyone, and it is not surprising that everyone does not know his name.

But in the face of the fact that there is no network and can still be in the 1inux operating system Sang Table xiàn such a talented Lin Zheng, 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel think. Maybe just "oh! mygod! In order to fully express the shock in his heart: this guy is absolutely and absolutely a software genius.

"I understand." Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "Don't hide it from the two of you." Now our country is eligible to have priority access to the Internet only the top universities and research institutes in China, I myself also got the relevant information and code about 1inux from my teacher last year, and the time to be able to access the network is very limited, I think, from last year to now, I have the opportunity to access the Internet for less than 5o hours, which in order to contact my partners in the United States and e-mai1 time also occupies the vast majority...... Not being able to communicate with you on the Internet has always been my biggest regret. ”

"But with the network situation in your country, I'm afraid our communication will be troublesome in the future." 1inuxtorva1ds worried.

After a period of communication, 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel no longer had any doubts about Lin Zheng's attainments and talents in 1inux and Unix, but when they thought that such a software master was trapped in an environment where there was almost no network available, the two sincerely felt sorry for Lin Zheng, and Briel said to Lin Zheng enthusiastically, "Lin, I heard Torva1DS talk about you, it seems that you yourself are not short of money, if you are willing to come to the United States to exhibit, I can vouch for you to the U.S. government so that our communication is much easier. ”

This guy is willing to vouch for a stranger he's only met once? And also a foreign stranger? Lin Zheng, who has seen a lot of Americans and is wary of strangers, was greatly moved: this Briel is too simple...... How the hell was he able to open his farm and not be annexed until now?

Sighing and sighing, Lin Zheng still refused with a smile, "Thank you, in fact, you don't have to worry about this problem, our country's network situation has been improving and flying, and the application for access to the Internet has been submitted to our government, and our company can access the network in the second half of this year at the latest, and our communication will be much more convenient at that time, and my company and my career are in China, and it is impossible to leave a Qiē to come to the United States." ”

For the sake of face, Lin Zheng was embarrassed to say that the network his company accessed was only a 24k bandwidth.

"That's a shame." Listening to Lin Zheng say this, 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel are not reluctant, after all, everyone has gathered together because of their common love for the operating system 1inux, and there is no reason for people to give up a qiē. I have to regret it.

Lin Zheng said with a smile. "It doesn't matter, because of the nature of our company, I need to travel back and forth between China and the United States a lot. I'm sure there will be a lot of time for everyone to get together. ”

"That's great!" 1inuxtorva1ds and Brielton were overjoyed.

Although 1inuxtorva1ds will return to Finland after this meeting, the Internet situation in the United States is much better than that in China, and it is much easier for everyone to communicate. Even if Lin Zheng didn't say it, they could imagine that even if Lin Zheng could access the Internet, his network situation would definitely not be much better.

Everyone is an adult, after clarifying what Lin Zheng meant. 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel naturally dodge this question.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zheng hesitated, but still spoke. "Briel, Torva1DS, have you ever wondered how to make 1inux profitable today?"

"What?" 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel's eyes widened suddenly.

"Maybe it's because I have more free time, I've thought about it." Lin Zheng said slowly. At the same time, carefully considering the wording, "I admire the spirit of sharing and freedom that 1inux admires, but I also believe that if you pay, you should be rewarded, and now 1inux enthusiasts all over the world can promote the exhibition of 1inux with enthusiasm, but if you just give and don't get anything in return, this enthusiasm will always dissipate...... It's like one-sided love, no matter how passionately you love a girl. If that girl doesn't give you a response for a year, you can still persevere, but if she doesn't give you a response for three or five years. Are you sure you'll be able to keep chasing? ”

"Let's go further, even if a few people can persevere, but in the face of this kind of ending of only paying and no return, I believe that the vast majority of people should not be able to persevere, right? After all, everyone has to live, and they also have wives and children, and the time spent on 1inux to write a piece of software may be sold for a lot of money, and this money may be enough to change a good car for the family. ”

Lin Zheng's words are also felt, and now 1inux has set off a huge wave in the world, looking at the current exhibition trend, it seems that there is a trend of replacing the dominance of the indos desktop operating system within 1o years, and even arrogant 1inux enthusiasts shouted out "let indos disappear within 5 years", but Lin Zheng knows that in the field of desktop operating systems, 1inux has no possibility of replacing indos within 2o years...... It seems unlikely that 3o years will replace Indos.

1inuxtorva1ds and Brielle couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it, for 1inux enthusiasts who have always adhered to the spirit of "freedom and sharing", Lin Zheng's words are almost rebellious, but think about it carefully, they also have to admit that what Lin Zheng said is very reasonable, and the analogy is also very vivid, when a beautiful girl attracts you, you may spend a year to pursue her, and even do not rule out the possibility of chasing two or three years, But if this beauty is as indifferent to your pursuit as an iceberg, no one will continue to be interested in this beauty, only the love that pays no return is always a story in a fairy tale, because love itself is an interactive process, and a man and a woman can only be called love when they communicate with each other.

The fact that this situation 1inuxtorva1ds has appeared, and the mobility of enthusiasts of the 1inux system is very large enough to prove this, many people were active a while ago, but after a while they disappeared again, which is enough to explain the problem, what does this mean? It shows that everyone can only regard 1inux as a personal hobby or even a temporary hobby, but it must not be regarded as their lifelong career, the reason is very simple, you can't make any money on 1inux.

Is it better to think of 1inux as a hobby that may disappear at any time, or as a job that you can work hard for a lifetime and give yourself a good life and a decent social status? This question probably goes without saying who doesn't want to be like Bill. Gates is living happily ever after?

"Lin, have you thought about this?" 1inuxtorva1ds was silent for a while before asking Lin Zheng in a low voice.

"I've thought about it, I've been thinking about this all this time." Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively, "I've been thinking about how to ensure that everyone can not only find happiness without changing the spirit of freedom and sharing at 1inux, but also have a good life and decent job?" ”

"What?!" 1inuxtorva1ds and Briel raised their heads abruptly and looked at Lin Zheng in surprise, they didn't expect Lin Zheng to really think about this. But immediately, the two of them were relieved, too, if Lin Zheng hadn't thought about this issue very seriously, he would naturally not have raised this question at this time.

"Do you have an answer?" Briel asked eagerly.

"Not yet," Lin Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, "But what I can be sure of is that I can't compete with Microsoft for the desktop operating system, if I do, I will definitely die a miserable death." By the way, Torva1DS, Briel, have you ever wondered where the future of 1inux is? Is it a desktop operating system for individual users? Is it a personal workstation? Or do you want to focus on servers like Unix? ”

"No, I don't think so, I think 1inux will definitely pose a huge threat to Microsoft's indos," perhaps Briel's confidence in 1inux was too sufficient, so that he suddenly became excited when he heard Lin Zheng's words, "Just look at the current reaction of Microsoft, IBM and Apple to 1inux, everyone thinks that 1inux will pose a huge threat to Apple's OS, Microsoft's indos and IBM's OS/2, The most important thing is that 1inux is free, these operating systems are all charged, and I don't think that people will use a paid operating system when there are free operating systems available. ”

"In fact, everyone thinks that the operating system that charges is more trustworthy, and the charge means that the company has a stable source of income, and can provide stable services to itself for a considerable period of time in the future," Lin Zheng did not back down in the face of Briel, who didn't know why he suddenly became excited, on the contrary, he unceremoniously-for-tat, "No charge means that the company's income is unstable, and it may go out of business at any time, Naturally, they can't provide themselves with stable technical support and services, and in the face of the huge risk that free operating systems may be stored, users would rather choose to spend money, which is also the most important point for enterprise users.
