What Is Linux

In the early 90s, a geek named Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland thought it would be fun to  
write a Unix kernel from scratch. He called it Linux, and it was cool but pretty much useless without all the utility 
programs needed to make it a complete operating system. At the same time, Richard Stallman and his pals at the Free 
Software Foundation were writing a bunch of freeware Unix utilities collectively known as the GNU Project. It was 
cool but pretty much useless without a kernel to make it a complete operating system. Fortunately, the two parties 
decided to collaborate.
News of Linux spread quickly over the Internet, and many other Unix programmers joined the effort to enhance it. What   
we now know as Linux is a combination of Torvald's Linux kernel, the GNU Project software, and some other nifty 
software bit and pieces developed by programmers from all around the world.
