So Linux is 25 years old now. The Linux kernel was created by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds in 1991 who at the time was a 21-year-old computer science student at the University of Helsinki, Finland . On 25 August 1991, Torvalds posted the following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet…
“I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
