This is off-topic but I cannot resist. My short answer is, yes, Linus is
a hero but the proviso is that he's only a hero to people like us. Actually,
the Linux world is full of heroes - I'd count Jon Maddog Hall, David Miller,
Alan Cox, Erik Troan, Jay Estabrook, Jim Paradis and Stephen Tweedie in my list.
Even that is insulting to the many folks who contribute a lot of time and
energy (for example the Lyx developers)...
