Original post that made Linux
Linux began with this post to the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.minix, in August, 1991,
written by a Finnish college student:
Hello everybody out there using minix-
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be
big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.
That student, of course, was Linus Torvalds and the “hobby” of which he wrote grew to
what is known today as Linux. Version 1.0 of the kernel was released on March 14,
1994.
