Just for Fun
I’ve been reading this book lately, Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary. It’s a first person account of the creation of Linux, as told by Linus Torvalds to David Diamond. So far it’s been very interesting, I like the way they’ve mixed the technical details of developing Linux with some personal background on Linus’s life as well. Hearing about the viral growth of Linux is really cool too, it’s funny how it makes you want to go and download a copy and start using Linux as your desktop OS.
