Where did Linus get his start? When did he start learning about computers? I know this about the crew, but I want to know. I started last year when I wanted to build my own computer and Linus was the very first tech person I watched on YouTube. A year later and I've been studying everyday about computers and latley networks. I've built two computers, my router with pf sense, and piecing together a nas with freenas, all on my home network. I love technology and I wanted to know about how the person who I look up to got his start in this field.
