Terminal Linuxer

Linux is a computer operating system based on freedom ( or free / relatively affordable ) and open source software ( source code is open ) . Although there are many versions / linux that was developed at this time , but all Unix and Linux - based kernel , a kernel operating system first released October 5, 1991 by Linus Torvalds . Linux is an operating system for your computer . such as Mac and Windows systems , it provides basic computer services necessary for someone to do things with computers . It is the middle layer between the computer hardware and software / applications you run . Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds and a group of volunteer programmers who develop a core program of the system ( aka , the kernel ) .

History Chronology Linux :

• April 1991 : From his dorm room at the University of Helsinki student Linus Torvalds began work on the operating system kernel itself , many people want to see if he could do it . As he was doing in the early development of Unix clone called Minix , he posted a note to the group Minix said , " I 'm making a free operating system ( just a hobby , will not be big and professional like gnu ) for 386 ( 486 ) AT clones " . Turns Torvalds wrong in his assessment of his record , linux potential .
• May 1992 : More than a year after Torvalds began working on a pet project , the first comprehensive distributions of Linux , Linux System Solanding , thrown to the user . SLS offers incorporation over TCP / IP and X Windows .
• July 1993 : Slackware Linux , which was developed by Patrick Volkerding , launched the first commercial Linux distribution . And to this day is the oldest Linux distributions and is still in development .
• March 1994 : Linus Torvalds released Linux 1.0 , consisting of 176 250 lines of code . ( waw groggy when my dah ) .
• April 1995 : Linux got its own trade exchange in the conference , the Linux Expo , which was created by Donnie Barnes at North Carolina State University . Barnes who works for Red Hat , who then took over the expo .
• November 1998 : In the midst of a federal antitrust lawsuit , Microsoft lawyers presented a box of Red Hat Linux as evidence that Windows does not represent a monopoly in the OS market .
• November 1999 : VA Systems launches SourceForge , which became the leading open-source project repository for Linux and other platforms .
• October 2004 : Canonical releases Ubuntu 4.1 , aka " Warty Warthog " , which raised the bar for community developed Linux distribution with a six month release cycles and focus on the user experience .
• January 2007 : Some of the leading mobile technology companies , including Motorola , NEC , Samsung , NTT DoCoMo , Panasonic , and Vodafone formed LiMo Foundation to collaborate on Linux -based smartphones . This is a major change in the Linux movement , and a sign of the arrival of Google's Android .
• November 2007 : The Open Handset Alliance , which includes Google , Intel , Sony , HTC , Motorola , and 78 other companies , announces its presence by bringing Android . One week later , the OHA released the SDK for Android development .
• October 2008 : The first commercial Android phone , the T-Mobile G1 , was sent to consumers , marking the emergence of Linux into the mainstream consumer computing devices . In mobile phones , Android will be able to compete with Apple's iOS , bringing Linux to the forefront of flatforms - war .

That was the story of how Linux was born and continues to thrive to this day . Today there are many so-called Varian of linux distro , you can view it directly in distrowatch  and kernel.org to find latest linux kernel.
Okay ,that's from me and KEEP LEARNING ...
