Thank you $Linus && $co :)

[unix_geek_512]

I've been using Linux for well over a decade and would like to thank $Linus && $co for all their hard work over the years.

use Linux;

$Linus = "Linus Benedict Torvalds";

($co) = Linux::get_all_contributors();

A small tribute in code if you will :)

$co includes that lovable rogue RMS and his band of merry hackers ;)

May Linux continue to kick *$$ for many decades to come.

Live long and prosper!
