The Syncing Apple An Exploration of Technology and Devices

Linus Torvalds uses PowerPC not Intel for Linux

From Slashdot, who got it from ZDNet Australia:

"As to the why ... Part of it is simply that I wanted to try something else, and I felt like there were enough people testing the x86 side that it certainly didn't need me. Part of it is that I personally believe there are two main architectures out there: Power and x86-64 are what _I_ think are the two most relevant ones, and I decided that I had to at least check the other side of it out seriously if I really believed that," said Torvalds.

So Linus uses a Mac too, but apparently, he got it for free.
