of our adventure with Linux to date is less the success we are enjoying than the element of
helping to establish a whole new software development model."

Larry Ewings's Dancing Penguins
When is Linux's birthday? Let's have a party!
From the Linus Torvalds letters:
"I couldn't for the life of me remember when it all happened, and I don't
keep a diary, so I can't give you any exact dates for when linux "was
born". But I did start to wonder, so I started ftp'ing around for
archives of the comp.os.minix group (where I announced it), and this is
what I came up with (with some editing)."
"...Judging from the post, 0.01 wasn't actually out yet, but it's close. I'd
guess the first version went out in the middle of September -91. I got
some responses to this (most by mail, which I haven't saved), and I even
got a few mails asking to be beta-testers for linux."

GNU Project had been working since 1984
|
Richard Stallman is the founder of the GNU project,
principal author of the GNU C Compiler, symbolic debugger (GDB), GNU Emacs, and various other
GNU programs."...the version of GNU which is widely used
today is more often known as "Linux",
|
and many users are not aware of the
extent of its connection with the GNU Project".
Linux and the GNU Project
|
"The system in which Linux is
typically used is a modified variant of the GNU system--in other words,
a Linux-based GNU system. Linus Torvalds set out to write a Unix-like kernel (Linux);
Donald Knuth set out to write a text formatter (TeX); Bob Scheifler set out to develop a window system (X
Windows)."
