Linux is an operating system that was initially created as a hobby by a
young student, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki in Finland.
Linus had an interest in Minix, a small UNIX system, and decided to
develop a system that exceeded the Minix standards. He began his work in
1991 when he released version 0.02 and worked steadily until 1994
whenversion 1.0 of the Linux Kernel was released. The current
full-featured version is 2.2 (released January 25, 2021), and
development continues.
