Every community has its heroes, and here in the world of Linux there’s no doubt that Linus Torvalds is one of them. Linus featured more prominently than usual in the Linux blogosphere over the past week, in fact, and not just because he released version 2.6.32 of the Linux kernel. Exciting though a new release may be, an even bigger discussion on the Linux blogs last week was of a very different nature. An Obama-ish nature, you might say, or an Al Gore-ish one. Yes, there was serious discussion of the possibility of a Nobel Peace Prize for our favorite Finn!
