Linus Benedict Torvalds: a Finnish software engineer who is the creator and principal developer of the Linux kernel.
Torvalds created three small programs: one can print “A”, other can print “B”, the third one can switch between the first and second program by some custom logicals. He put all of these three programs into x86386 and run them together; then he got a result like: “ABABABAB…”. That being said, x86386 is able to run multitasking base on the hardware.
Reference: Minix
Programming language & Complier: C & GCC
Compatible: Torvalds hope linux could be compatible with Unix so that people who use linux can also run programs that developed on Unix. So he followed POSIX standard to develop the next version of linux.
After Torvalds published his Linux source code to the Internet, a lot of volunteers participated into developing Linux. Because Linux is a open source OS, volunteer developer could easily build there own functions they need, such as drivers, applications for a kind of device, and so on. Torvalds was response for testing those codes and combine then into the newest version of Linux. Those caused the updates of Liunx is rapid and more and more developers and users took part in developing Liunx. During these progresses, Linux was modularized and became easily to add and remove functions.
Famous testing assistants: Alan Cox, Stephen Tweedie
