Yesterday, Linux Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, turned 40. While birthdays for the most part aren't too important for someone other than whose birthday it is, this one is special for a couple of reasons. It was 19 years ago that Linus took all of his Christmas and birthday money, and spent it on a PC in order to focus on programming and create some cool things.
