I'm reading this book I got from the Library Open Source voices from the Open 
Source Revolution" edited by Chris DiBona, Sam Ockman & Mark Stone.  It's 
great.  It's really inspiring me.  It has all the great people of the open 
source revolution, Richard Stallman (free software foundation) , Eric Raymond 
(open source �initiative), Brian Benlendorf (Apache), Jim Hamerly (Netscape), 
Kirk McKusick (Berkley Unix), Tim O'Reilly ( O'Reilly & Associates Inc.), Tom 
Paquin (mozilla.org), Bruce Perens (Open Source Initiative), Michael Tiemann 
(Cygnus Solutions) (Cygwin), Paul Vixie (Bind), Larry Wall (Perl), and of 
course Linus Torvalds (Linux). Each one has a chapter.  I would recomend it 
to anyone.  It even has the Tanenbaum-Torvold Debate.  Well we can see where 
minix is now still on a floppy.  I like Marhall Kirk Mckusick chapter about 
FreeBSD and the history.  It's a good read.  I could say inspiring.

Tim
