Linux has become an OS which is very popular , although Windows management position as the most popular OS Linux also has a momentum of growth very significant because of the features and Do not have to pay a license fee to use . As for famous history in the field of Information Technology Please cite the history of Mr. Linus Torvalds , a Programmer Famous in the creation of the Linux operating system has benefits as well as the development of Linux as well . KH4IT express as follows :
Children and unknown computer
Linus Torvalds , Linus Benedict Torvalds was born on 28 December 1969 in Helsinki , which is the largest city in Finland in a family with parents as a journalist .
As a child , Linus Torvalds is also outstanding students in mathematics and also loves to read books , too Later , he also began to interest with computers due to inherited from his grandfather mother named Leo Toerngvist , a professor of statistics at the University of Helosinki.
In mid - 1975 's Torvald is , Professor Toerngvist bought his first computer , a Commodore Vic 20. Due the use of computers , Torvald also tired to use 2 Or 3 computers And also try to create a new program by himself , using the BASIC language , but later switched to use assembly language more potential than before . That Torvald becomes a strong passion in the field of mathematics and Computer Programming While his father tried to play sports As well as participate in social sector But he seems to be interested in those things at all .
Native Linux
In 1987, with some savings Torvalds bought a computer named Sinclair QL , a world 's first computer 32 Bit access and a CPU: 7.5MHz and Ram: 128 KB although However, Torvalds like a computer , because it uses the operating system on ROM (Read Only Memory) that he can not write added . Tovalds also has entered the University of Helsinki in 1988 to study the degree Computer science . Later in 1991, he also bought a new computer , an IBM CPU 33MHz and RAM 4MB system that comes with operating (OS) MS Dos already unhappy Torvalds and OS This at all Recently , he tried to use his wife MINIX is created based on Operating system UNIX (MINIX was created by Dutch Professor Andrew Tanenbaum). MINIX disadvantage for Torvalds it does not have to be open And yet there are many weak spots . Despite this , Torvald has a new idea to create a new operating system , which relies on MINIX , as well as UNIX. because the creation of the new OS need to spend more time Torvalds has also decided to suspend his studies in the University a time to focus on building a new OS only .
On 25 August 1991 , Torvalds announced the new OS , you used MINIX know to get an idea as well as the suggested blessed Home Later , he released the first generation of this new OS is 0.01 on 17 September and on 5 October also released version 0.02 of the new OS is a formal event that this OS process Text Mode Control and command. due to the popular new OS Ari Lemmke Torvalds also allows Torvalds Using the service 's FTP Server ftp.funet.fi to other programmers can modify and continue development . Torvalds was named to the new OS , LINUX from Linus's MINIX still think it 's too selfish self OS also want to switch to that Freax from word (Free Freak Minix) due Directoy that was created on the FTP Server named LINUX is why this new OS called Linux also LINUX to use free with law license GPL ( GNU General Public license ) . continue Programmer many have tried to change it and continue to develop Linux while Mr. Linus Torvald try to focus on Linux Kernal , which is the most important part , which helps the Linux process better . While The Free Software Foundation , which called (FSF) production process on a UNIX operating system has a lot of bash, GCC and GNU binutils. those taken to launch , along with better Linux .
Linux and comprehensive
Because there are more and more developers have joined to help develop Linux makes Linux more potential and preferred by consumers more and more . Also , in 1994 File Sytem ext2 (ext File System for Linux , while Windows uses NTFS and Fat) started a very good point helps the CPU run faster as well as speed up the process in Network .
Later l Tovalds University of Helsinki invited to become one - Professor That is a role that can Tolvalds can use his physical strength to continue the development of linux . his teaching His first exercise is required to students everyone send Email to him . Female student named Tove Minni the squad karatte champion of Finland wrote Email cloth . later Tolvalds marry her Tove Minni Now they have three daughters .
Later in 1996 , his achievements and the Linux community is Version 2.0 of the Linux technology includes symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) , which helps the process of Ram and CPU work together well . Arrived in 1997 the installed computer system Linux operating up to 3 million , according to estimates 2 years later This number increased to 7 million , it said .
The move comes at the California
After spending nearly a decade as a Linux and as students , researchers , and professors At the University of Helsinki , he also thought that it should be a change in his life . This , and in 2007 he decided to work in a new company named Transmeta invitation The company also has a portion of Paul Allen , who have large stocks in Microsoft . Many people are concerned that he , Linus Tovalds and turned to focus on his new career and perhaps throw Linux during which he was working on it He still continues to develop Kernal Linux . 1999 Linus Tovalds received prizes EFF Pioneer Award , while in 2000 Linus Tovalds was voted to the top 17 Of 100 's famous Times newspaper . , And a year later , 2002 , he received a medal Lovelace Medal given by the British Computer Society. should specify that Tovalds idea that the creation and development of Linux for just for fun , and what only that he loves , and regardless of the benefit money back Because RedHat and VA Linux , a Linux OS for a large - scale unit shipments in 1999 , Tovalds received a large sum of profits losses already .
he and his family Changed his residence In Poland , where he made a more complete And focus only on Linux and also have created Linux Foundation renamed The Free Standards Group in 2007 .
So far, he , Linus Tovalds still continue to develop Kernal Linux as OS Linux Kernal Linuxof All Time " also includes Mr. Tolvalds into the list of the top 100 . also in 2010 , , Linus Tovalds received another new honor , the C & C Prize given by the Corporation NEC.
