You mean that reimplemention of US originated UNIX, managed by the guy who moved to the US? ;-)
UNIX was invented in the US and Linus came over to the states, so...
Although I'm a big fan of Linus, it is unfair to say that he created the whole platform. I would argue that there is a big percentage of US contributed code to it and don't get me started on the GNU/Linux thing
To be fair, there wouldn't be any Linux without Unix & C, but there would definitely exist many other "Linux", e.g the __superior__ FreeBSD. Not diminishing Linux's achievements in any way. :-)
One could say, to be fair, there wouldn't be any Unix & C without the mathematics of Gottfried Leibniz from Germany. This discussion is ridiculous.
