Just read a great article on wired about Linus Torvalds, the man who started the Linux kernel.

Great stuff.  I love journalism that goes deep and gets information from the source, instead of just reposting web rumors.  

But, am I the only one who feels like the story is a little bit of a tragedy?  The only big payout he gets from Linux taking over the world is sales of Red Hat stock for 1 million dollars (or thereabouts)?  It's like Austin Powers in this day and age.  Compare that to Jobs, Gates, Ellison.  If he had a penny for every Linux distribution...  And he's still working for salary.  Now, I'm sure he's comfortable, but he probably doesn't own electric car companies or rocket businesses.  And why do I care anyway?  Just doesn't seem right somehow.  But thanks anyway, Linus!
