Where are They Now? Bob Young Red Hat Founder

Bob Young was the founder of Red Hat and former CEO of Red Hat until 1999. Now he owns Lulu a self-publishing company. Being a Raleigh,NC resident (as am I) he is often interviewed a lot by the local news. I thought this interview was a hoot.  [Click the image to view the video, the local station doesn't have cool YouTube-esque embed features yet.]

 

I like his assertion that he’s not as smart as most so he has to work hard to keep refining his ideas.  Red Hat’s come a long way from selling t-shirts and CDs so it’s interesting to get some perspective from someone that was there before they were the gold standard for enterprise Linux.
