The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization
dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, started the
celebration of Linux’s 20th anniversary at the Linux Foundation
Collaboration Summit, but when is Linux’s real birthday?“Is it August 25th, when Linus announced the project? October
5th 1991, when 0.02, the first public release was made? I decided
to go straight to the source and asked Linux’s creator, Linus
Torvalds.”
