See, I have already made a mistake:

*Linus* Torvalds, not *Linux* Torvalds. The joke was that "Linux" was 
Linus's version of Minix. By the way, it is supposed to be pronounced 
"Lee-nooks" (to rhyme with "tree nukes") because of how Linus's name is 
pronounced in Finnish.

I'm glad that is all cleared up now. :-)

Best wishes,
Clint
