It’s “Linus Week” at Silicon.com. Readers equipped with a
RealPlayer plug-in can watch a series of interviews, get a chance
to win a pilgrima… trip to Linus’ hometown, and indulge in other
assorted Linus wallowing. While preparing this lead we listened to
one of the interviews: it’s not bad.

Here’s the pitch:

How does Linus Torvalds view his nemesis, Bill Gates?

The inventor of Linux tells all in a silicon.com exclusive. This
week, silicon.com is publishing a series of eye opening one-on-one
interviews with the man himself together with analysis and extracts
from his new book, ‘Just for Fun’. Plus, you could win a trip to
Linus’ hometown in Finland. Tune in each day for another insight
into the godfather of Linux and find out why he thinks Apple’s Mac
OS X kernel is ‘a piece of xxxx….and unfinished’, and how he
views his rivals.

…Buy the book and learn from the master silicon.com is
offering subscribers a 10 per cent discount on his autobiography –
buy it on silicon.com before it hits the book stores this
month.

Enjoy Linus Week.
