Linux Origins

In 1991, Finnish hacker Linus Torvalds posted the following message to a discussion group: "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones."

The project he was referring to eventually grew into Linux, the open source operating system.
