Torvalds on a Mac
Slashdot is pointing to
this ZDNet Australia story about Linus Torvalds,
the father of Linux, who in the article says, ”My main machine these days is a dual 2GHz G5 (aka PowerPC 970) -
it’s physically a regular Apple Mac, although it obviously only runs Linux, so I don’t think you can call it a Mac any
more ;).” He goes on to note that the choice is not because of any favoritism to the Mac, but rather because he
”got the machine for free” and because he’s a self-proclaimed ”technology whore.”
What I want to know is: what version(s) of Linux is he running on the G5? Is it some home brew 1337 Torvalds souped up variant of the main kernel?

Why the hell is this such hot news all of a sudden? He's been using G5s for a few months already.
