An interview with Linux history-maker David Boyes

Author: JT Smith

From LinuxPlanet: “Anyone who works with Linux on IBM’s System/390 mainframes has certainly heard of David Boyes. He made history early in the project by running
no less than 41,400 Linux images on a single mainframe, all of them doing real work under simulated load as web servers. More recently, David has
been involved in helping application service providers and other companies deploy Linux on System/390 hardware in the real world.

David Boyes is 34 years old and lives in Ashburn, Virginia, just a few miles west of Washington D.C. He is newly married to Margarete, a native of the
former East Germany whom he met when she was in the U.S. as an exchange student.”
