Hans Reiser: Once a Linux Visionary, Now Accused of Murder
Joshua Davis 06.26.07 | 2:00 AM

Hans Reiser is waiting for me, standing on the other side of an
imitation-wood table. The room is small, the concrete walls bare. A
guard locks the steel door from the outside. There is no sound. Reiser
is wearing the red jumpsuit of a prisoner in solitary confinement,
though he has been allowed to meet with me in this chilly visiting room.
There was a time when he was known as a cantankerous but visionary open
source programmer. His work was funded by the government; he was widely
credited (and sometimes reviled) for rethinking the structure of the
Linux operating system. Now he is known as prisoner BFP563.
