In 1991 I was on an IRC and ran across Linus who was posting about his early kernel. We used to chat back and forth. Smart guy and soon there were so many people working on his stuff it was just fun to sit there and watch the conversation.

I used SCO back then and while I liked their software I hated the way they sold it. After I loaded one of the early Linux distros (a zillion 5 1/4 diskettes) I told the SCO guys they were in trouble. They thought I was crazy and laughed at me. Ha ha ha....<--That's me laughing last.

Linux is an absolutely amazing piece of work.
