That illustrates, Linus said, one of the core strengths of Linux: we use the same kernel across a wide range of platforms.

At this point, Linus said, we are doing really well everywhere except on the traditional desktop.

Linux has, historically, functioned as a benevolent dictatorship with Linus Torvalds coordinating contributions to the kernel.

Linus describes Git as a very fast directory content manager that doesn't do much, but does it efficiently.

Quite simply, Git is Linus Torvalds' recently implemented source code management software.

In 1991 Linus Torvalds, a Finnish software engineer, reinvented Unix for the internet age.

To get some perspective on what lies ahead in 2008, we caught up with Linus Torvalds via email.

Now let's look at one final decentralized SCM written by the maintainer of the Linux kernel himself, Linus Torvalds.

David: Well obviously not, Linus, I mean here I am, right? She's probably having her beverage service right about now.

It is indeed true that the kernel hasn't forked in any significant way, thanks to Linus Torvalds' control.

But there was ones in the literature. Actually, Linus didn't look at them that carefully.

Sometimes you're so smart, Linus. It's frightening!
