Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, has, along with others like Richard Stallman, literally changed the world of software forever.
Linux-based distributions seem to pop up every day, more and more devices now run Linux at their core, from mobile phones to inflight entertainment systems, to the world’s mission critical server infrastructures.
Linus Torvalds relates his plans for the future of Linux, including the 3.0 kernel, problems with the Linux release cycles and which distro he personally runs on his home PC. ” ’Compile everything by hand’ ones simply weren’t interesting to me,” Torvalds says. And there was that time he was bitten by a ferocious real-life penguin.
