> As I was cleaning my office I found some audio tapes made of Linus' talk, and
which I purchased with my own money. Now, to make your present, I had to buy a
good audio tape playback machine and capture the audio in Audacity, then produce
a digital copy of those tapes, which are listed here. Unfortunately I do not
have a copy of the slides, but I am not sure how many slides Linus had. I do
not think you will need them.
I'm still dismayed I only found out about this by accident, and it was hidden behind a Facebook wall. It's very sad to see stuff like this hidden from public view.

The audio is provided by John "Maddog" Hall, one of the critically important early supporters of Linux, while working for Digital.
