Where Did This All Start?
In 1991, a Finnish university student named Linus Torvalds was unhappy with Microsoft DOS and Windows 3.1, but really liked the UNIX systems he used at school. Unfortunately, UNIX was not cheaply available for home use, so he decided to write his own, free version.
People on the Internet helped, and it has grown amazingly since.
