I thought I'd share this paragraph from Jeremy Geelan's column in the November 
issue of Java Developers Journal (http://sys-con.com/story/?storyid=46963):

-----
Hero of the open source movement, geek made good, thorn in Bill Gates' side, 
Torvalds, it has been said, "embodies the idea that there is always another 
way, an antidote to the Microsofts of this world, evidence that the idea of 
the 'community' within IT is still there." As one wit expressed it, "If it 
wasn't for the presence of Lara Croft and Xena Warrior Princess, techies 
around the world would have posters of Linus on their walls."
