Review of 'Just for Fun' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It tells the story of how Linux started and spread. Along the story we can find intriguing comments from Linus about meaning of life, open source philosophy and the importance of doing things right.

But I find the organization of chapters is a bit weird. Especially the coauthor’s meeting and chatting with Linus seems off and interrupts the story.
