Work Description

Linus Torvalds erzählt, wie es dazu kam, dass er Linux entwickelte und gibt Einblicke in seine Denkweise.

Excerpts

Überleben. Sozialkontakte pflegen. Spaß haben. Das ist der Lauf der Dinge. Und deshalb wählten wir "Just for Fun" als Titel dieses Buches. Weil alles, war wir tun, letztlich unserer eigenen Unterhaltung zu dienen scheint. Jedenfalls wenn wir die Chance erhalten haben, so weit zu kommen.
Page 262, added by Andreas Perstinger.

Kurze Zusammenfassung von Torvalds' Lebensphilosophie.
