The DALnet #Linux has started a movement to get Linus Torvalds voted as Man of
the Century. Their idea is to get a massive number of votes for Linus, which
would at least get the attention of Linux if nothign else. They estimate that
they need about 1 million votes to pull it off.

They've requested everybody to vote for Linus and to pass it along. The catagory
in which Linus is being placed also has a mention of Bill Gates, so we've got
some competition. If you would like more information, see the URLs below.

* Note: Please do not flame me or yell at me saying this does not belong on the
list because I am aware of that but thought this information had to be passed
along to those interrested and this is the easiest way of contacting mass
numbers of Linux users I could think of.
