The Linux project has just turned 23 and it’s now the biggest collaborative endeavor in the world, with thousands of people working on it.
Back in 1991, a young programmer called Linus Torvalds wanted to make a free operating system that wasn’t going to be as big as the GNU project and that was just a hobby. He started something that would turn out to be the most successful operating system on the planet, but no one would have been able to guess it back then.
