"In the middle of last year, Linus Torvalds decided new features for the linux kernel needed more of his attention, so he handed off a major maintenance responsibility to a longtime contributor, Ted Ts'o."

"Ts'o was a trusted lieutenant who had established the first North American download site for Linux, while working as a network security specialist at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology in September 1991."

"The server "happened to be my desktop machine," he notes, a venerable Digital Equipment PDP-11."
