 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Linus
We cannot be positive whether this identification of the pope as being the Linus mentioned in II Timothy 4:21, goes back to an ancient and reliable source, or originated later on account of the similarity of the name.
Perhaps it was on account of these dates that the writers of the fourth century gave their opinion that Linus had held the position of head of the Roman community during the life of the Apostle; e.g., Rufinus in the preface to his translation of the pseudo-Clementine "Recognitiones".
It cannot be doubted that according to the accounts of Irenaeus concerning the Roman Church in the second century, Linus was chosen to be head of the community of Christians in Rome, after the death of the Apostle.

Linus Torvalds, the Helsinki prodigy who at age 22 wrote Linux, the computer operating system that lured these two dozen men out of their homes and offices on a weeknight, has moved to the world's technology Mecca to take his first real job.
Linus was a student in the computer science department at the University of Helsinki when he, like many programmers, fell in love with UNIX and wanted to run it on his home computer.

Linus is not (or at least, not yet) an innovative genius of design in the way that, say, Richard Stallman or James Gosling (of NeWS and Java) are.
Linus was directly aiming to maximize the number of person-hours thrown at debugging and development, even at the possible cost of instability in the code and user-base burnout if any serious bug proved intractable.
Linus demurred that the person who understands and fixes the problem is not necessarily or even usually the person who first characterizes it.

 NewsForge | Linus compares Linux and BSDs
I recently asked Linus Torvalds for his thoughts on the relative strengths and weaknesses of Linux and BSD, and about how much synergy there might be between the Linux kernel and the BSDs.
In fact, they laughed and joked with him, and eventually gave Linus one of the beanies with horns on it they were wearing, a familiar symbol to BSD fans.
Clearly, Linus wishes NOT to start a flame war with the BSD community, as it is unproductive and a complete waste of time.

 Linus Pauling: The Dark Side of His Legacy
The Linus Pauling Institute of Medicine, founded in 1973, is dedicated to "orthomolecular medicine." The institute's largest corporate donor has been Hoffmann-La Roche, the pharmaceutical giant that produces most of the world's vitamin C.
At the time, Linus was promoting his claim that "75% of all cancer can be prevented and cured by vitamin C alone." This claim proved to be without experimental foundation and not true.
A flyer distributed in 1991 by the Linus Pauling Institute recommended daily doses of 6,000 to 18,000 mg of vitamin C, 400 to 1,600 IU of vitamin E, and 25,000 IU of vitamin A, plus various other vitamins and minerals.

 Linus vs. Tanenbaum
An interesting question is whether Linus is willing to let LINUX become "free" of his control.
If you like Linus' philosophy rather than mine, by all means, follow him, but please don't claim that you're doing this because LINUX is "free." Just say that you want a system with lots of bells and whistles.
If Linus wants to keep control of the official version, and a group of eager beavers want to go off in a different direction, the same problem arises.

I have no doubt that this came from Linus Torvalds, but perhaps the fact that a few people have expressed doubts about it shows that this was a little out of character for him.

That said, I doubt whether or not Linus actually wrote this particular letter is of no real consequence provided that he agrees with the sentiment and the fashion in which that sentiment was expressed.
