What a year for Linux! Not only did openSUSE and Linux celebrate their anniversaries, Linux-creator Linus Torvalds is being honored by the Technology Academy of Finland for his underrated contribution to open source and computing. Web pioneer Sir Tim Berners-Lee won the Millenium Technology Prize in 2004 and Torvalds is one of two recipients this coming June 13 in Helsinki, Finland. He joins Shinya Yamanaka, a scientist specializing in stem cell research, for the honor.
An interview with Linus Torvalds can be read over at TechCrunch and a short article about the Millenium Award on a number of sites.
