Monosyllabicgoon Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm doing a rather large research paper on linus torvalds for my english class, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any books or websites with some good biographical information on linus. Anything will help, thanks. PS: i'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, a mod can feel free to move it to whichever one is more appropriate.

neowin_hipster Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Everybody's favorite encyclopedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds This kills me: In August of 1991, he publicized his creation on the USENET newsgroup comp.os.minix: Message-ID: 1991Aug25.205708.9541@klaava.helsinki.fi From: torvalds@klaava.helsinki.fi (Linus Benedict Torvalds) To: Newsgroups: comp.os.minix Subject: What would you like to see most in minix? Summary: small poll for my new operating system Hello everybody out there using minix-I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
