Anyone here speak Linus Torvalds's first language?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Quite a bit of a bump Bubach, but hey, it is nice to see that you still sneak around here on the forum. At least I now have a chance to say thanks for all those documents you have collected at your document archive =D>
Oh and hi to Laksen, it is nice to see that there is another dane here on the board :D
But to stay on topic, I can understand written swedish, but I find it difficult to understand spoken swedish :oops: But that still does not keep me from listening to some swedish music :P

I'll second that - BOS is what got me started with how to write a boot loader when I started OS Dev a few years back.

Cheers,

I'm Danish and the numeric system is very easy :twisted:

Well... I stay in Trondheim in Norway at the moment. Norwegean is very easy for me to read, but not (yet) to pronounce. I'm working on it! :)

I'm slowly learning Swedish, but I can't really have more than a basic conversation and I'd probably have trouble understanding everything.

No problem... I hope that I can get time to do some more os-deving in the future. I miss the challanges. :)

Interestingly, from my understanding (I have a Swedish friend [that lives in Sweden] that I talk to a lot), svFI is very different from svSE. Put simply, svFI is like 16/1700s Swedish.
