Linus Torvalds Birthday
Happy birthday to Linux Torvalds, creator of Linux!
In 1991 Linus Torvalds was a college student at the University of Helsinki. Based on a Unix system, he wrote the kernel — original code — for a new system for his x86 PC that was later dubbed Linux (pronounced linn-ucks). Torvalds revealed the original source code for free — making him a folk hero among programmers — and users around the world continue to tweak it. Linux is considered the leader in the practice of allowing users to re-program their own operating systems.
Thanks, Linus! Wish you every success!
