where can i find 'reputable' information about linus torvald? a simple search from google didn't really give anything usefull (also, even less in english)

i'm doing this research for my western civ class, and i need to research a european who has infulenced the world. my teacher said it can be recent. i'm not sure if he would be a good target, because i'm unsure of the ammount of information i can gather about him.

* Ahum * The creator of the Linux kernel is called "Linus Torvalds", I have no idea who Linus Torvald is... and btw, you should have included .fi in your search. You would have found Linus Torvalds (official) small website: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/torvalds/

cool, i'll have to look for that book. i have untill the end of the year (this is my final project, so i don't have to worry about a test) to do this, and it either has to be a 3 minutes presentation to the class, or a written report. i'm kinda leaning towards a written report...
