Linux is the most popular
free computer
operating system kernel.
It is a
Unix-like system, and implements the
POSIX standard.
The Linux kernel was first developed by
Finnish hacker
Linus Torvalds in an attempt to provide a free Unix-like operating system that ran on
Intel 80386 processors.
The project was launched in
1991 in a famous post to
Usenet.
From the early days, it received help from
Minix hackers, and today it has received contributions from thousands of programmers.
