Linus isn’t someone who has a lot of recent photographs, but our spies, er, researchers have managed to infiltrate the Torvalds household and bring back these rare shots.

Apparently, they’re all pictures of Linus partying. Remember: Drinking and kernel development don’t mix. Kids, don’t try this at home.

Finally, kernel version 1.0 is released, and Linus breathes a sigh of relief.

In celebration, he quickly downs a beer and decides to get back to work.

The next morning, however, the effects of the previous night’s revelry take their toll.
