The Linux epic began in Helsinki. It seems that hackers all over the world are creating source programs for their lives, and Linus is no exception. His home is on Kalevagatan street, close to Kalevala, not far from the city centre. It is a place where 19th century architecture meets modern bungalows. Linus lives here with his wife. His home resembles a college dormitory, with rows of bicycles under the stairs.
