Not exactly sure what you are looking for. If it is birthday of
Linus Trovalds ... it is 28 Dec. He is 33+ now.
I am not sure, if the "birthday" of "Linux" is the day Linus
first announced it or when he started on the project. If it is
the former 25 Aug 1991 seems to be correct. I am placing the
historic announcement from my archives below.
AFAIK, Linus Trovald's own DOB is: 28 Dec 1969.

Sub : Line-spacing a text file LOST #101
To double space a text file: cat filename | sed 'G' > newfile
To undo double-spacing: cat filename | sed 'n;d' > newfile
To triple space: sed 'G;G' ... and so on ... add one ';G' for
every additional line space that you need.
