	Linus Torvalds biography by The Linux Information Project
		Linus Benedict Torvalds was born on December 28, 1969 in Helsinki, the capital and largest city in Finland.
		Ari Lemmke, Torvalds' friend and the administrator for ftp.funet.fi, a provider of FTP (file transfer protocol) services in Finland, encouraged him to upload his source code to a network so it would be readily available for study and refinement by other programmers, a common practice then as it is now.
		Torvalds arrived in Silicon Valley when Microsoft was decimating Netscape in the browser war and when many people in the U.S. and elsewhere were hoping for a new, and more robust, challenger to the Microsoft monopoly.

		Torvalds acknowledges being "benevolent dictator of Planet Linux," as he calls it, yet the secret to his success is not, apparently, his technological prowess but his disarming personality.
		Torvalds never set out to champion an alternative method for creating software, but inadvertently he has, and now he's both proud of that accomplishment and angry that his life's work is under attack.
		Torvalds' home is spacious - a split-level, five-bedroom spread with a three-car garage and a backyard Jacuzzi housed in a wooden gazebo.

		Torvalds, on the other hand, was a Finnish student from a middle-class but impecunious family, who created a revolution in computer operating systems almost by accident, when trying to make his own PC talk to the computer at his university.
		Torvalds himself is keen to play down the saintlier aspects of his public persona.
		Torvalds was able to exercise his options after six months, enabling him to cash a parcel of shares at around $75 apiece, thereby gaining an instant seven-figure fortune (and being able to afford his new house and his BMW).

	Linux (kernel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torvalds himself indicated in version 2.4.0 that his own code is only under version 2 [9], but Alan Cox pointed out that very few other Linux contributors have specified a particular version of the GPL [10].
		Torvalds has stated his belief that LKMs using only a limited, "public" subset of the kernel interfaces can sometimes be non-derived works, thus allowing some binary-only drivers and other LKMs not obeying the GPL.
		Portability, according to Torvalds, was the ability to easily compile applications from a variety of sources on his system; thus Linux originally became popular in part because it required the least effort to get popular free software and other open source applications running.

		Torvalds used the Minix Operating System as a starting point which he changed and modified to his liking which he ended up calling Linux.
		Torvalds program was based on the Unix program and became known as a Unix-like program which in essence works in the same manner as the original Unix program while not being associated or certified by the original Unix.
		Although Torvalds is not an entrepenur in the classsical meaning of the word, we wanted to choose him because he represents how a one mans hobby can change his life as well as a whole industry.

		The 17th of September 1991, Torvalds posted a message on the Internet telling about his operating system and inviting other programmers to download it for free and to improve it, only asking in exchange that any change or improvement done to the code should be shared with everybody.
		When Linus Torvalds arrived in Silicon Valley, Microsoft had just won the "browser war" against Netscape, and the American and world computer community were looking for a new challenger to the macro corporation of Bill Gates.
		Torvalds is convinced that "it i's fun to program" and that good programmers are like artists: the passion behind your work is the motivation and the creation rather than the money.

	Linus Torvalds
		Torvalds earned his masters degree in computer science at the University of Helsinki, where the computers ran UNIX, an operating system designed by Bell Labs.
		Torvalds had a PC that came with Microsoft's crappy and crash-prone operating system, MS-DOS, and of course, he hated it.
		The kernel written by Torvalds comprises about 2% of the current Linux, but he still makes the ultimate decisions about which modifications are added and which aren't.

		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.
		By giving it all away, Torvalds started a niche industry that has spawned a few millionaires and produced currents strong enough to be felt aboard the Microsoft Titanic, even if his handiwork is not exactly an iceberg in its path.
		The Torvalds are still trying to comprehend the fame that came to the little boy who couldn't seem to get enough of his Commodore.

	Torvalds - IT Channel - IT Channel News by CRN and VARBusiness (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Torvalds is relaxed, easygoing and rarely gets involved in industry politics, but for all of that diplomacy, he is unabashedly opinionated and not afraid to speak his mind.
		Torvalds is proud of the enterprise-ready Linux 2.6 kernel, which was completed in December 2003 and provides a higher level of performance, reliability and scalability to support enterprise applications, making Linux suitable for all data-center tasks and giving it near parity with other operating systems.
		Torvalds also generally shies away from the limelight, although occasionally attending industry conferences, and he is as precise about his role as he is with his code, preferring these days to call himself the chief technical lead rather than chief software architect since he is overseeing more and programming less.

	Tove Torvalds@Everything2.com
		Tove Torvalds' usual claim to fame is probably that she happens to be married to the kernel hacker Linus Torvalds -- you know, the guy who got bitten by a penguin and wrote that nifty x86-based terminal emulator and modem driver that he ended up making an OS kernel out of.
		At the point when Tove decided to take computer science classes, she already had an education as a kindergarten teacher (she has a bachelor's degree in child care), but she didn't want to be doing just one thing for her entire life, so she decided to take computer science as one interesting side subject.
		She enrolled in the computer science class to learn more about computers, not to become a hacker, coding wiz or something like that, but because the things were beginning to crop up everywhere and she wanted to understand them.

		Torvalds basically says the same thing as he describes himself as a "lazy bastard." Each time he does I nod with understanding.
		Torvalds was the keynote speaker at the first LinuxWorld Expo I attended, in August 1999 in San Jose.
