From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah - I mean - I don't want to get into the business of analyzing somebody's metal state but he definitely seems to have issues with fixation. But I also don't want to cross the line into saying that he's necessarily dangerous because of that. He's dangerous for other reasons though. I agree with your "some evidence" line in that he does seem to be focusing on the part of his personality that does seem to be the most dangerous - inability to manage conflict. Prison does provide for that conflict - but it also provides many rules and structures that he wouldn't have on the outside. Dunno. I have a difficult time saying that anybody who has murdered their wife should ever see freedom again at all - "reformed" or not.
