| For Linux's Torvalds, improved software lacks fanfare |
|---|
| | | |
| Publication: | NJ.com | Date: | Jun 09 2003 |
One thing that isn't changing, even as Linux gains popularity, is Mr. Torvalds's remarkable lack of interest in translating his influence and importance into fame and fortune. He doesn't have a secretary, much less a PR person. He doesn't hobnob with the executives of the many big companies using his software. He'd rather be home with his wife and three daughters than out at conferences with the digerati A-list.
