For those that missed it (like me) there's a transcript at
http://farcaster.net/linus.html 
(and a local copy at http://live.networx.net.au/linus.html)

Note that Linus wasn't actually typing (Hence the typos and stuff)
Linus says (in a post to linux-kernel):

"I wasn't actually typing - the company firewall makes that impossible,
 and I don't like irc anyway, so I was actually on the phone to people
 and they transcribed."
