OT: Who is Linus Torvalds named after?




>From what I read in an article some time ago, Linux Torvalds was named
after the American Chemist Linus Pauling. But I heard from a different
source that he was named after the character Linus from the cartoon strip
"The Peanuts".

Can anybody point me to a definite locator on this matter?
