The meaning of the Linux

Linux was a student at the University of Helsinki, was invented by Linus Torvalds. However, many people the 'Linux' in Chapter 4 Add the CD, including the various programs that are aware.

Real 'Linux' kernel of the ones that have meaning. Of the operating system kernel that is the most important and essential. Hardware control, process control, memory management, etc. This is all handled by the kernel. Were made of how well the kernel of the operating system depending on where reliability and performance are determined.

The first Linux creator Linus Torvalds has developed these kernels. In the early 386 systems for multi-processing implementation of Multics tanenbaumgyosuga made to hack the kernel sources. Based on this multi-processing implementation of 386 systems have evolved, which runs on further developing the multi-processing operating system kernels to the development of power pour. Thus was created the name of the kernel operating system created by their own means of the 'Linux' are named.

In addition, he FSF (Free Software Foundation, Free Software Foundation), Richard Stallman became interested in recreating the GPL, he developed the Linux kernel under the GPL public to the world will be decided on. This we know a lot of open source (Open Source) is to say angry.

Currently Linus Torvalds, Linux is distributed only by. He received many offers from around the world as a programmer to test the various functions. Or other person seeks to include in the kernel that implements the. As a result of those efforts he also now decided to be laid out to the world when beojeoneop while the Linux kernel will be released.

The Linux kernel is available to everyone. Equipping the kernel, the OS, you can develop anyone. But I do have a different name developed by the OS. The name of the OS "Linux" is So, equipped with the Linux kernel and the Linux operating system is to say.

So we 'Linux = kernel' rather than 'linux = OS' is not seen nothing that is more meaningful. But why the name of the OS seems to have a Linux are not that many people know.

'Linux' Linus Torvalds is distributed by the kernel, which refers to the core of the operating system. Therefore, the OS kernel, equipped with 'Linux' is called.
