Linus Torvalds (npub1xkx…06au)
I first used Linux when a student loaned me a Red Hat 3.0.3 CD - version released 1 May 1996 according to Wikipedia - and I booted it and was soon able to get it doing useful stuff in text mode, including running some of my shell scripts developed on Solaris.
Have made much use of it since on all classes of device from embedded routers to NAS, to desktops/laptops, mobile phones and cloud servers.
