DIED. CHARLES SCHULZ, 77, creator of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the gang of little losers at Peanuts, perhaps the world's most beloved cartoon; of colon cancer on the eve of the publication of the final Sunday strip; in San Francisco.

Linux caught on fast with programmers: It was fast, efficient and stable, and best of all, it was extensively customizable, so that hackers could modify and rejigger it exactly the way they wanted to. Torvalds' real stroke of genius, though, was to give Linux away for free, and to make its code open to all, so that any hacker anywhere...
