listen) LEEN-uuks or /ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-uuks) is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution.
What was the first Linux operating system?
On October 5, 1991, Linus announced the first “official” version of Linux, version 0.02. At this point, Linus was able to run bash (the GNU Bourne Again Shell) and gcc (the GNU C compiler), but not much else was working. Again, this was intended as a hacker’s system.
How old is Linux?
Linux is 25 years old today – so is it still the future of computing? Linux is probably the only operating system that all of us use every day, but only some of us actually know it. Its creator, Linus Torvalds, first posted about his work on this new, free OS back in 1991 but said it was “just a hobby, won’t be big”.
