What made LINUX revolutionary was its journey to become the marvel it is today - and how the system grew from the meeting of thousands of minds around the world. Linus wasn't the first to use the power of the open source movement, but the excitement he generated when he offered his system to the world was unprecedented.

What happened next took the world by storm. How could he create a system that could run all of his favorite software with fewer crashes and faster productivity? Linus posted his early versions of LINUX on the Internet and called upon the most brilliant minds in computer science to enhance his system. LINUX was created because Linus was curious to see if he could improve upon the operating systems already out there, such as UNIX. What began as a childhood hobby soon became the astonishing phenomenon known as the LINUX operating system. In this witty and engrossing narrative, Linus Torvalds, the brilliant mastermind behind the latest Internet revolution, in collaboration with writer David Diamond, chronicles his transformation from a pale, skinny Helsinki college kid to an international folk hero. And this was before being a nerd was considered to be a good thing.' Good at math, good at physics, and with no social graces whatsoever. I didn't duct-tape my glasses together, but I might as well have, because I had all the other traits.
