Linux OS -- Windows is the dominant operating system that makes computers
do what they do when you tell them to. But there's another operating
system that's free -- the creation of a Finnish programmer who put it out
on the world wide web and invited any and all to improve it. The
resulting "committee-written" system is finding favor with more and more
computer-savvy users worldwide. And it's free. NPR's Dan Charles reports
on Linux's founder and how his creation is faring. (8:15)
