Linus Makes Business Week's Best Managers List

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the meow-meow-meow dept.

andhar writes "Linus Torvalds has made Business Week Magazine's 2004 list of Best Managers, where he finds himself in the company of luminaries such as Hector Ruiz (AMD), John Henry (Boston Red Sox) and Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks SKG). The article lauds the influence of Linux on the server market and drops the names of such heavyweights as IBM, Dell, HP and Intel as Linux supporters. Linus is quoted, calling all you kernel coders a herd of cats."

    Torvalds had a pet Cobra who he used to take for walks while wearing a white tails and tophat. He named the cobra Beverly, and he taught it how to fetch and dial phone. One day the cobra bit the maid, and with tears in his eyes, Brasky...I, uh mean, Torvalds had to shoot the maid.

    I gotta say that her decision to just accept fate and her punishment was a great managerial decision, as compared to taking a long drawn out court case that we all know she'd lose.
