In 1991, a 21 year-old student, Linus Torvalds set about writing a free alternative to the UNIX operating system. The system he established is now used by more than 10 million people & the numbers are growing. It is fast, it can be used on any number of hardware platforms, from multi-chip super computers to palm pilots, &, astonishingly, it's free. The story of its development reveals the importance of cooperation in new technology. Hundreds of programmers from around the world have worked outside government and corporate control to create a product that has caused conventional business to blanch. The book describes in vivid detail the dreamers and businessmen who have turned a private passion into a global phenomenon.
