A number of early Linux posts from Linus are available as part of the Linus

I have recently read a magazine about linux, and it mentioned the world's
first "knowing" of linux; A 1991 post to comp.os.minix from Linus
Torvalds. Would anyone have any idea if this is available, or even if it
was saved? Or even where I could start to look for it?
Sheesh.. I ask TOO much.. :)

I agree with you the man is not a Titan ... I once read somewhere

be venerated. However if it is a thing done with all the skill of a master
craftsman [or is a master craftsman ] it [they] should be emphatically
respected ..

It's a good idea, "flame" was just a thought (after the Hungarian list
linux-flame). The name debian-discussion would be quite appropriate for
the topics that I mentioned. So
I don't think 'debian-flame' would be quite appropriate. How about
debian-discussion, or debian-advocacy or something?

This is getting to be a bit offtopic. Some linux lists have a "flame"
counterpart specifically for these issues, i.e. the ones that are not
technical. Couldn't we start a debian-flame list for these debates? The
people who are interested in these could sign up for that.

But later on he becomes a wormlike creature so he is in a different

Oh wow, is Paul Atreides an actual world leader? I voted for him too--in my case
because he's the primary character of Frank Herbert's "Dune", in which he
becomes
emporer of the known universe.

It wasn't until I saw the post -voting list that I realized that I'd heard
about this before. Right After I saw Paul Atreides listed . . . There's a
government, Turkey I think, that has an organized effort to stuff the ballot
on these things.
