Linus Benedict Torvalds (born
December 28, 1969) began the
development of Linux, an operating
system kernel.

Inspired by Minix, he felt the need for a
capable UNIX operating system that he
could run on his home PC.

Torvalds did the original development
of the Linux kernel primarily in his own
time and on his equipment.

INDIANS Marching Towards Open Sources
On the use of Proprietary Software
The most unfortunate thing is that India still seems to believe in proprietary
solutions. Further spread of IT, which is influencing the daily life of
individuals, will have a devastating effect on the lives of society due to any
small shift in the business practice involving these proprietary solutions. It is
precisely for these reasons open source software needs to be built which will
be cost effective for the entire society,"
