!7. What is Linus's middle name?
Many people seem to think think Linus's middle name is "God". A few claim it ought to be Eric. But in fact his middle name is `Benedict'. He doesn't use it much.
!8. Where does Linus live?
-He's now resident in Santa Clara, California, USA, having moved there from Helsinki in early 1997.
+He's now resident in Portland, Oregon USA, since about year after this page was last edited in 2003. Formerly of
Santa Clara, California, USA, having moved there from Helsinki in early 1997.
!9. Does Linus have a home page?
He has one at [http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~torvalds]; it's got an animated penguin and cute pictures of his baby daughter Patricia Miranda Torvalds.
!10. What editor and mail reader does Linus use?
Linus deftly avoids the most persistent ReligiousWar in the [Hacker] community by using neither [Emacs] nor [vi|vi(1)]. He uses !MicroEmacs. And, we are told, Pine as a mail reader.
!11. What is Linus's email address?
-You can
reach him at torvalds@transmeta.com.
+At one time you could probably
reach him at torvalds@transmeta.com. You could probably find it easily enough or just go read the kernel mailing list to find out what he is up to. He's keeping a blog on the [Linux Foundation|http://www.linuxfoundation.org/] website these days.

Note: because Linus is who he is, he gets a staggering amount of email that he has to deal with. Don't waste his time. Linus is too nice a guy to hurt you if you abuse this address, but there are probably about a hundred thousand people who would be displeased enough to mess with you if you did.
!12. What does Linus do when he's not hacking Linux?
