"Oh, and part of it is that I got the machine for free," said Torvalds, "I'm really a technology whore."

"My main machine these days is a dual 2GHz G5 (aka PowerPC 970) - it's physically a regular Apple Mac, although it obviously only runs Linux, so I don't think you can call it a Mac any more  " he said.
So if he said it, what's with the smiley?
P.S. Why did he get it for free?

you know he has a secret, unlisted OS X partition buried deep down somewhere in /etc where noone would think to look.
Sort of a linux geek's porn stash.
