Just For Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary "chronicles the
events leading up to Linus's emergence as hero of the OSS movement. The
story takes us from his beginnings as a hacker sitting on his grandfather's
lap programming BASIC on a VIC-20 in a small Helsinki apartment, to a brief
stint in the Finnish army, through his university years (all seven of them),
and his migration to Silicon Valley. The book is a candid personal account,
replete with many funny anecdotes about his life, his world, and the people
who affected him. Of course, the entire story is told with Linus's unique
brand of self-deprecating humor and keen observations."
