address drew a cast of thousands at LinuxWorld Conference
& Expo, owned and managed by IDG World Expo, a business unit of
International Data Group (IDG), the world’s leading IT media and
information services company. More than 6,000 Linux devotees
cheered as Mr. Torvalds took the stage and thanked his early
supporters for providing the means to continue his development
efforts while a student at the University of Helsinki.
The interactive keynote addressed issues surrounding the release
of the Linux kernel 2.4 and future functionality of Linux – today’s
hottest operating system. Mr. Torvalds continued his address by
opening the floor and fielding a wide range of questions from the
enthusiastic crowd of Linux devotees.”
