Top Ten Nerds and Geeks

Torvalds' personal mascot is a penguin, he invented Linux using an old 386 PC and he insists he is named after a character in the Peanuts comic strip -- in fact he was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize-winning chemist. Torvalds' operating system is used by computers all over the world and some believe it poses a serious threat to Microsoft's Windows -- not bad for a lone Computer Science student.

ok if linux was made by a lone Computer Science student it would have taken that a lifetime. Andrew Tanenbaum wrote much of the minux kernel with was later adapted by Torvalds to write the linux kernel. Much of what made linux so popular is the GNU project witch helped to make it free.

and by the way Pawel_Pwns3 most of the computer servers in the world run linux as do most dedicated computer systems. OS-X is unix based as well. Its already more prolific then windows.
