Il nostro sistema operativo preferito compie 18 anni, sembra solo ieri il giorno in cui  Linus Torvalds annunciò di voler creare un nuovo sistema operativo eppure ha già compiuto la maggiore età.

Era il 25 Agosto 1991 quando il giovane Linus Torvalds pubblicò su Usenet nel gruppo comp.os.minix il seguente messaggio:

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)
Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-( .“

Dopo 18 anni non c’è che dire, Linux è più in forma che mai e sta maturando bene crescendo di giorno in giorno.
Auguri caro Linux!
