Why I love Linus Torvalds

Lucas got a job at one of the computer labs at the U.  He will be providing help to lab users, but also doing various tasks to keep the computers up and running.  Just up his alley.  I credit the fact that he knows, uses, and LOVES the Linux operating system for this opportunity.  He tried to teach me, but since I am an old dog, I chose not to learn that new trick.  He's so pleased with himself I just can't tell you.  It's so fun to see him enjoying himself while earning money.  That's something we kept telling him would happen when he got to the right job.  But secretly, I wondered if he would ever be in the position to actually get the right job.  Thank heaven for Linus Torvalds.  I would kiss you if I could.  Though that probably wouldn't be much of a thrill for him...
