Insightful interview with Jon "maddog" Hall & David Rusling of Linaro
covering decades of computing history:

"The catalyst was that Digital decided to build the Alpha processor
and sell it around the time that Linux was being created and maddog
refused to let the second architecture that Linux ran on be anything
other than an Alpha. I had never heard of maddog until I was told
about Linux; I met him for the first time just before we went into a
meeting with one of the Digital execs. The rest is history."
cheers,
