Linux free, easy & secure
Back in 1992, a Finnish student, Linus Torvalds, posted to some internet forums that he was creating a new operating system that would run on PCs.
The operating system would be free and open, and based around Unix – the commercial operating system used all over the world by companies, governments and universities.
The project received overwhelming support, and nobody could have known then that, in just a few years, it would become one of the most powerful operating systems in existence.
It would find itself running not just on PCs, but on hardware ranging from small PDAs to massive corporate mainframes, and that it would help to push an open software philosophy into the mainstream.
