This is my report on the differences of Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman.
I'm sorry its not a work of art I have been a little busy of the past few weeks. But I will improve as time goes on.
First I'll do the similarities of the two then differences.
The first i noticed (this is also most obvious) there both programmers of free software.
But here are some more: They both have masters in computing and science. Both are software engineers.They both had there first interactions with computers without mothers or fathers involved.
Some differences are Richard was born in New York and went to Harvard where as Linus was born in Finland and went to the university of Helsinki. Linus is married with kids Richard Doesnt have ether.
More updates tomorrow.
