| Until his junior year of high school, McLean, 18, was an "average computer 
| user." That's when a friend turned him on to Linux, a type of open-source 
| software, where programmers can modify the underlying code.

| Next week, he starts his freshman year at Duke University and plans to study 
| computer science and religion. His college costs will be partly paid with a 
| 2009 Fedora scholarship, which recognizes students for their contributions to 
| free, open-source software.
