History of Linux originated from an initiative of the Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. On October 5, 1991, complete a student named Linus Benedict Torvalds announced via a newsgroup (comp.os.minix) that he managed to make an operating system very similar to UNIX. In his email he says:
Hello everybody out there using minix
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby,
won't be big and professional like GNU)
for 386 (486) AT clones
Starting from this email, greeting from programmers all over the world arrive. They give lots of input and not a few who helped contribute to the development of this new operating system. Linux is made using a UNIX-like operating system called MINIX. MINIX itself was developed by renowned computer expert Andy Tanenbaum.
