Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an independently-created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of the then-new i386 architecture.

Linux zag het levenslicht in 1991 dankzij de Finse student Linus Torvalds. In die tijd werkte het alleen op i386-systemen, en was het in wezen een onafhankelijk gemaakte kloon van de UNIX-kernel, bedoeld om gebruik te maken van de, destijds nieuwe, i386-architectuur.

The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as it can be.

De Linux-kernel heeft naast een technologisch, ook een ideologisch belang gekregen. Er is een complete gemeenschap ontstaan met mensen die in de idealen van vrije software geloven, en die hun tijd spenderen om te helpen opensource-technologie zo goed mogelijk te maken.
