Linux Story on NPR

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)
