Linus Torvalds idézet

Linus Benedict Torvalds a népszerű, Unix-szerű operációs rendszer, a Linux fejlesztésének elindítója, jelenleg is egyik fő fejlesztője.

Szülei korán elváltak, Linust az anyja Helsinkiben nevelte fel. Anyanyelve a svéd, de finnül is anyanyelvi szinten beszél.

Három kislánya van: Patricia Miranda, Daniela és Celeste Torvalds. 1997 eleje óta az USA-ban élnek. Jelenleg Linus munkaadója a Linux Foundation, amely a korábbi OSDL és a Free Standards Group egyesüléséből jött létre. A Linux Foundation az ipar fontos szervezetei, cégei által fenntartott alapítvány, amely anyagi hátteret teremt a Linux kernel fejlesztésének.

Felmenői között sok tanult ember volt. Anyai nagyapja sokat foglalkozott vele, és nagyon fiatalon kapcsolatba került nagyapja számítógépével, melyen kisebb, majd egyre összetettebb programokat írt.

Amikor a Linux kernel fejlesztésébe belekezdett, a Helsinki Egyetem hallgatója volt. Wikipedia
