Hello!

I need to contact Linus Torvalds, but the email: torvalds@transmeta.com
doesn't work!!! Does anyone know what his mail address is???

Ring transmeta and ask...

What is Linus's email address?

You can reach him at torvalds@osdl.org.

Note: because Linus is who he is, he gets a staggering amount of email that he has to deal with. Don't waste his time. Linus is too nice a guy to hurt you if you abuse this address, but there are probably about a hundred thousand people who would be displeased enough to mess with you if you did.

From The Rampantly Unofficial Linus Torvalds FAQ

You have been warned...

Yeah, whenever they are in a rut, they ask Linus

Nah... they're on a totally different level than where Linus is.
They're afraid to talk to him cause they still don't understand how someone could develop an Operating System kernel that is well beyond their own they've spent millions upon millions of dollars for and not ask for one cent for it in return...

Linus can truly be the one person who can tell you "That it's not about the money.." and you have to believe him.

Yeah, he scares them. Like how Tesla scared Edison with Alternating Current. LOL.

I dont think that is bill gates email address. Its too obvious. And if I were the richest man on Earth, I wouldn't want a lot of spam.......

Crito · 06-28-2005, 04:20 PM

Actually, that really is Bill Gates' email addy. And the richest man on Earth pays someone to read his mail for him, so he'll never see the spam anyway.

I heard he's got a team of 10 people who sort his daily email who then forward the real email to another server not accessible from the outside world... could just be a rumor but I'd imagine it could be real with the potential amount of email he gets.

Bill's private address is gateswh@usa.com but don't tell anyone I told you.
