I'm surprised at the few old hat Linux guys here.

Weird FOSS story. I ran into RMS before he was going to do a speech when I was briefly at college. He asked for a clock with a second hand and he wasn't wearing any shoes. Needless to say smelly feet and a gross beard didn't leave a good impression on me. Torvolds is more live and let live, down to earth and easy going. RMS scares me.
