History of Linux
In 1991 Linus Torvalds began working on what is now known as the Linux kernel while attending University in Finland. At first alone, though soon with the help of many others, Linus continued developing the Linux kernel. Today, what is typically referred to as "Linux" refers to not only the kernel, but to the very extensive suite of GNU utilities that accompany the kernel in most Linux distributions as well. Together, Linux kernel and the GNU utilities form what is popularly known as "Linux". [JMH]
