Nominative determinism calls for it - though I suspect a large number of prospective kernel hackers called Linus have the ball pulled from their toes just as they kick at it.

Torvalds is actually just three years older than me (Linus Walleij). And both of us were probably inspired by proxy from Nobel laureate Linus Pauling.
