Daily reminder this guy wrote more kernel code than Linus.
Alan started working on Version 0. There were bugs and problems he could correct. He put Linux on a machine in the Swansea University computer network, which revealed many problems in networking which he sorted out; later he rewrote the networking software. Alan brought to Linux software engineering discipline: Linux software releases that were tested, corrected and above all stable. On graduating, Alan worked at Swansea University, set up the UK Linux server and distributed thousands of systems.
Alan was the main developer and maintainer of the whole Linux kernel. He was responsible for the Version 2.2 branch, and made many special contributions (such as his own versions of the 2.4). Alan’s branch was very stable and led to the adoption of Linux in enterprises.

Linus is a self-centred asshat taking credit for everyone elses hard work. Ever since he came up with the idea for Linux.
