Enlarge Tux, a cartoon penguin frequently featured sitting, is the official Linux mascot. Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel.

Linux distributions often bundle large quantities of software with the core system, and over 300 distributions are available [1]. Initially, Linux was primarily developed and [4, DrugSenseBot001]: used by individual enthusiasts. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Novell for use in servers and is beginning to make inroads into the desktop market.

Torvalds originally used Minix on his [4, DrugSenseBot001]: computer, a simplified kernel written by Andrew Tanenbaum for teaching operating system design. However, Tanenbaum did not support extensions to his operating system, leading Torvalds to write a replacement for Minix. [4, DrugSenseBot001]: Linux started out as a terminal emulator written in Intel 80386 assembler and C which was compiled into binary form and booted from a floppy disk so that it would run outside of any operating system. The terminal [4, DrugSenseBot001]: emulator was running two threads: one for sending and one for receiving characters from the serial port. When Linus needed to write and read files to disk, this task-switching terminal emulator was extended with an [4, DrugSenseBot001]: entire filesystem handler, and after that gradually evolved into an entire operating system targeted at POSIX-compliance. Linus implemented enough POSIX system calls to make Linux run the Bash shell and after this [4, DrugSenseBot001]: bootstrapping procedure the development rapidly sped up. Although a running Minix system was originally necessary in order to configure, compile, install and run Linux, the Linux system quickly surpassed Minix in [4, DrugSenseBot001]: functionality and was soon able to boot on its own and compile its own source code. Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel Enlarge Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel The first version of the Linux kernel [4, DrugSenseBot001]: was released to the Internet in September 1991, with the second version following shortly thereafter in October [2]. Since then, thousands of developers around the world have participated in the project. Eric S. [4, DrugSenseBot001]: Raymond's essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar discusses the development model of the Linux kernel and similar software. The history of the Linux kernel is closely tied to that of GNU, a prominent free-software project [4, DrugSenseBot001]: led by Richard Stallman. The GNU project was announced in 1983 for the purpose of developing a complete Unix-like operating system, including software development tools and user application programs, composed entirely [4, DrugSenseBot001]: of free software. By the release of the first version of the Linux kernel, the GNU project had produced all the necessary components of this system except the kernel. Torvalds and other early Linux-kernel developers [4, DrugSenseBot001]: adapted their kernel to work with the GNU components and user space programs to create a fully functional operating system. The Linux kernel and operating system are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) [4, DrugSenseBot001]: which requires that all source code modifications and derived works also be licensed under the GPL, which is generally referred to as a "share and share-alike" license. In 1997 Linus Torvalds stated, "Making Linux GPL'd [4, DrugSenseBot001]: was definitely the best thing I ever did." [3] Tux the penguin is the logo and mascot of Linux (though there are other less common representations; see OS-tan). The name "Linux" was coined, not by Torvalds, but by Ari [4, DrugSenseBot001]: Lemmke, administrator at ftp.funet.fi, who named the FTP directory from which it was first available [4]. The Linux trademark (SN: 1916230) is owned by Linus Torvalds, registered for "Computer operating system software [4, DrugSenseBot001]: to facilitate computer use and operation." The licensing of the trademark is now handled by the Linux Mark Institute. See also: Timeline of Linux development [edit] Pronunciation In 1992, Torvalds explained [5] (IPA [4, DrugSenseBot001]: pronunciations added to quote in braces): "'li' is pronounced with a short [ee] '{IPA //} sound: compare prInt, mInImal etc. 'nux' is also short, non-diphthong, like in pUt {IPA //}. It's partly due to minix: linux was [4, DrugSenseBot001]: just my working name for the thing, and as I wrote it to replace minix on my system, the result is what it is... linus' minix became linux." An audio file of Torvalds saying "Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I [4, DrugSenseBot001]: pronounce Linux as /links/" also exists [6]. Note that in English, "Linux" and "Minix" are usually pronounced with a short /I/ sound that is different from Torvalds's Finland-Swedish pronunciation of these words. See [4, DrugSenseBot001]: also List of words of disputed pronunciation for a discussion of the various ways "Linux" is pronounced. [edit] Linux and GNU/Linux Main article: GNU/Linux naming controversy Because the GNU libraries and programs, an [4, DrugSenseBot001]: essential part of nearly all Linux distributions, stem from a long-standing free operating system project that predates the Linux kernel, Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation ask that the combined system [4, DrugSenseBot001]: (regardless of distribution) be referred to as GNU/Linux. Although some distributions do use this name most notably Debian GNU/Linux most simply refer to the system as Linux. The distinction between Torvalds' kernel and [4, DrugSenseBot001]: entire Linux-based systems that contain the kernel is a perennial source of confusion, and the naming remains controversial. [edit] Litigation Main article: SCO-Linux controversies In March 2003, the SCO Group (SCO) [4, DrugSenseBot001]: filed a lawsuit against IBM claiming that IBM had contributed portions of SCO's copyrighted code to the Linux kernel in violation of IBM's license to use UNIX. Additionally, SCO sent letters to a number of companies [4, DrugSenseBot001]: warning that their use of Linux without a license from SCO may be actionable, and claimed in the press that they would be suing individual Linux users. This controversy has involved lawsuits by SCO against Novell, [4, DrugSenseBot001]: DaimlerChrysler (partially dismissed in July, 2004), and AutoZone, and by Red Hat and others against SCO. To date, no proof of SCO's claims of copied code in Linux has been provided and SCO's claims have varied widely. [4, DrugSenseBot001]: A few of Novell's press releases seem to demonstrate serious problems with SCO's claims: 2003-May-15 Novell Statement on SCO Contract Amendment (good news for Linux users) 2003-May-28 Novell Challenges SCO Position, [4, DrugSenseBot001]: Reiterates Support for Linux 2003-May-30 Novell statement re: SCO press conference allegations 2003-Jun-06 Novell Statement on SCO Contract Amendment 2003-Nov-18 Novell Statement on SCO claims regarding a non-compete [4, DrugSenseBot001]: clause in Novell-SCO contracts The most comprehensive coverage of this suit is given by Groklaw. [edit] Distributions Main article: Linux distribution Linux is dominantly used as part of a Linux distribution (distro). [4, DrugSenseBot001]: These are compiled by individuals, loose-knit teams, and various professional organizations. They include any number of additional system software and application programs, as well as certain processes to install these [4, DrugSenseBot001]: systems on a computer. Distributions are created for many different purposes, including localization, architecture support, real-time applications, and embedded systems, and many of which deliberately include only free [4, DrugSenseBot001]: software. A typical general-purpose distribution includes the Linux kernel, the GNU libraries and tools, command-line shells, and thousands of application software packages, from office suites and the graphical X Window [4, DrugSenseBot001]: System to compilers, text editors, and scientific tools. A variety of Linux distribution screenshots can be viewed here. See also: List of Linux distributions [edit] Development efforts The bootable image of the Linux [4, DrugSenseBot001]: kernel itself is written entirely in the version of the C programming language supported by the GNU GCC compiler (which supports a "superset" of standard C), together with relatively short sections of code written in [4, DrugSenseBot001]: the assembly language of the target architecture (and at last count Linux supported about 20 different processor families). Because of the extensions to 'C' supported by the GCC compiler it was (in conjunction with its [4, DrugSenseBot001]: associated toolset) for long the only compiler capable of correctly building a Linux kernel. More recently Intel claims to have modified its 'C' compiler so that it also is capable of creating a Linux kernel. Many other [4, DrugSenseBot001]: languages are used in some way, primarily in connection with the kernel 'build' process (the methods whereby the bootable image is created from the sources). These include Perl, Python, and various shell scripting [4, DrugSenseBot001]: languages. Some closed source drivers may also be written in C++, Fortran, or other languages.
