Happy Birthday, linux! - August 25, 1991
August 25, 1991
The 21 year old Finnish student Linus Benedict Torvalds announced his work on a free operating system in the comp.os.minix Usenet newsgroup.
Linus' own assessment of where this would go in the future, could have hardly been further off:
"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones."
