| About Linux LINUX was named after Linus Benedict Torvalds. He was the student who was studying second year, computer science at the University of Helsinki in the year 1991. He is also called as a hacker. He was 21 years old when he started to study on the book, "OPERATING SYSTEMS: DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION" written by the Dutch Professor, Andrew.S.Tannenbaum about MINIX operating system with the availability of source code in C. The GNU Project in 1984 by Richard Stallman also impressed him to work on LINUX. Linus started to work on his own operating system and LINUX 0.01 was out in September 1991. It had a huge range of welcome from the Minus group itself, as Linus sent them a letter which stated about his work to develop LINUX. Later, in October LINUX 0.02 was introduced. By the mid of December LINUX 0.10 was released. Linus was not happy with Tannenbaum when he quoted, "LINUX was obsolete". This made Linus angry as he was very much confident on his work and he continued to work on it to make it more efficient. LINUX version 0.11 supported multi-lingual keyboards and floppy drivers, VGA, EGA, etc.. Then the versions skipped directly to 0.95 from 0.12. Linus was successful in his work on LINUX. LINUX was licensed under General Public License (GNU) and the source codes were free to all the people and students took it for free and started to study on it. Now, LINUX is one of the highly developing Operating Systems in the world. LINUX is highly reliable and it was proved when the system was immune to damages by viruses. LINUX is user-friendly involving GUI's. LINUX installation is also easier. Penguin is the current logo of LINUX because Peguin bit Linus hand, when he tried to pat it. Linus always thanks the GNU Project of Richard Stallman as it was the basic foundation that made Linus to work on LINUX and make it most successful in his career.  |

| The Linux kernel is more or less called GNU/Linux due to the large contribution by the FSF and GNU. By the way, Linux is not immune to viruses/exploits. That is an obsolete statement. There can always be exploits and viruses. Its just many known Windows viruses cannot execute on Linux due to the lack of executable support by the Linux kernel. |
