All about Linux: The Complete Concise History of GNU/Linux
By Marc • Nov 18th, 2005 • Category: Linux, the GeekIn all my years as a computer geek I’ve only been asked “What is Linux?”…OH…I’d say a million times. Well, this article not only gives you a good idea of what Linux is, it also gives a concise history of it.
“There are reams and reams written about the history of Linux umpteen times by many. So why another post on the history of Linux? I felt that I wouldn’t be doing justice if this site dedicated to Linux didn’t have atleast one post telling how Linux evolved from a project started by a university student to the robust OS it is now. But as the title indicates, I have kept it really short so that any one can come up-to-date by just glancing through it. To actually know the whole history, you have to go all the way back to 1971.”
Go check it out!
