Meet the guy behind Linux

[tim-from-pa]

I found this to be a neat little tech article about the brains behind Linux. I originally thought he was about my age, but I see that he's about 10 years younger than I am.

Thanks for sharing
Just that I spent hours trying to see the guy standing behind Linux, (thus, your title: Meet the guy behind Linux). Is the guy so short that Linux is a kind of giant mountain in front of him?

Also, I didn't find the brains behind him. Does he have extra brains behind.

Cool link. Always kidding

Just to add a bit more "trivia" to this, Linux was originally pronounced, Lee-nux.

Remember, in many languages, the long "I" isn't pronounced as it is in English.

But since then, Linus Torvalds has become "Americanised" and now shortens the I, so it now sounds like, Lin-nux. :yes

And way back when I knew no better I used to pronounce it Lie-necks.

Lie-necks is more appropriate.
