Being at the right place at the right time? Sort of like Bill Gates?
Anyway, there are two reasons why Linus got the doctorate: 1) The university wanted some publicity 2) They believed Linus deserved SOMETHING for his efforts, so they gave him what they could.
Well, for some consolation, you can still do a safe reboot with the Magic SysRQ keys: 1) SysRq-E - Send SigTERM to all processes 2) wait for disk activity to stop 3) SysRq-I - Send SigKILL to all processes 4) wait for disk activity to stop 5) SysRq-S - Sync 6) wait for disk activity to stop 7) SysRq-U - Remount all FSs read-only 8) wait for disk activity to stop 9) SysRq-B - Reboot
EISUB! Very useful for recovering from a dead console. --------
