快讯：Linux之父成为美国公民
据Lwn.net报道，Linus Torvalds在一个讨论技术的邮件列表上透露他已经在上周成为美国公民，他目前暂时没时间测试补丁，因为需要去登记注册，以获得投票权。
Linus Torvalds，芬兰人，当今世界最著名的程序员、黑客。现受聘于开放源代码开发实验室(OSDL : Open Source Development Labs, Inc)，全力开发Linux内核。
Linus Torvalds邮件全文如下：
FWIW, Xorg and firefox feel _much more_ responsive with the fix I propose whenrunning with a make -j10. The system is even usable with a make -j20 on my UP machine, even though I can start feeling a some lag. This is probably a more important, yet less scientific, result.
I'll test that myself (but in a bit - I need to go do voter registration and socsec update first, though - I became a US citizen last week).
Because yes, that's the reason I'm personally interested in your scheduler latency work: I think our X behavior under load is pitiful(I do "make -j16" on my dual-core with HT Core i5, and web browsong shouldn't start to lag as much as it does just because I overcommit the CPU a bit). So if this makes a noticeable difference, I think it's very important.
Linus
