Linux

Before my research, I know that Linux is a computer operating system, Nothing more.

I want to learn:

What makes Linux special/different?
Who uses Linux?
On what does Linux specialize?
What is it preferable for?
Who invented it?

Linux HomePage

Linux Application Center

(wikipedia)

- It was released on October 5th,1991 with the idea of launching a free and fast computer system that operated on intel x86 personal computers at first only

- it was invented by Linus Torvalds
- Linux has been recognized around the world as the fastest operating system in the present.
- It has been ported to many much more platforms for operation in the last ten years. For example, android runs on a linux base called linux kernel
- It is the leading operating system in the world for proxy servers, big iron systems, supercomputers and mainframe computers.
- Fun fact: the 10 fastest computers in the world run on Linux
- Linux is completely free and can be downloaded straight from the web!



Linux relates to me because I have always wanted to try it. Several of my friends have seen and experiences linux in action and I would want that opportunity to test it and have the worlds best computer operating system under my command,


Why make such a goldmine free? Who and why had the idea to make something so great specially with the mentality of making it free of charge?
