Article Summary:
Linus Torvalds was just 21 years old and a student in 1991 when he created Linux, the groundbreaking open-source computer operating system. After developing the system, he did something revolutionary. He posted Linux on the Internet for free, inviting users to download, share, and modify the code—even sell it as their own. Its popularity has skyrocketed over the last few years. Currently, more than 12 million people use Linux. In addition, technology stalwarts, including Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and IBM, have begun incorporating it into their products. Today, the open-source community hails Torvalds as a hero. His new book is Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary (HarperInformation, 2001).

Thank you for posting that. That is a great article about an absolutely 'real' person who is focussed on what is really important: the adventure.
