Linus Torvalds Created the kernel for the GNU/Linux OS
Helsinki, Finland
Hai readers,
Are you using a linux for reading this blog...?
Say thanks to Linus Torvalds, the man behind the first version of Linux.
lets go direct to the Heros details...At 21, he wrote the first version of the Linux (lin-ucks) operating system. The open-source nature of Linux is its greatest strength.
Linus Torvalds was born in 28-Dec-1969, Helsinki, Finland. Torvalds earned his masters degree in computer science at the University of Helsinki, where the computers ran UNIX, an operating system designed by Bell Labs. UNIX was common on huge computers with many users, but it was bulky, expensive, and impractical for personal computers. And there in his computer he installed Minix, a PC-compatible mini-mimic of UNIX, but he wanted something more flexible and user-friendly, so in 1991 Torvalds spent several months writing a compact operating system for his PC. He posted an announcement to the Minix group on USENET, and made the Linux source code available to other nerds free of charge. Programmers everywhere started adding their own improvements, and eventually companies like Red Hat, Corel, Caldera, and Turbo Linux began selling their own versions of Linux.
Linux rarely crashes and its users are largely immune to the gazillion worms and viruses designed to exploit Microsoft's myriad holes and bugs.
Linux? is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds. The kernel written by Torvalds comprises about 2% of the current Linux, but he still makes the ultimate decisions about which modifications are added and which aren't.
