Linux or Linus? Linus Torvalds IS Finnish, but quite probably also speaks Swedish.
As I recall, he lived in a Swedish area of Finland, so by nationality, he's Finnish, but by language he's Swedish, though not quite the same Swedish as in Sweden.
Indeed. Here he is on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Cheers, Leen
