I'm curious about the misspelling of Torvalds. Was that a naive transcription of the spoken name, or a naive transliteration from a Finnish character similar to "eth"? ( https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Eth https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Eth )
- kiiski 15y agoJust a mistake I think. Finnish doesn't really have any "special" characters except ä and ö. (Torvalds is written just the same in Finnish; besides I think it's a Swedish name anyway)
