linux是怎样发展起来的,Linux的24年发展是怎样的一步一个脚印(1)

1.ʷǰ

没有C编程语言和GNU项目构成Linux环境，也就不可能有Linux的成功。

Ken Thompson 和 Dennis Ritchie

Ken Thompson 和 Dennis Ritchie 在 1969-1970 创造了 Unix 操作系统。之后发布了新的 C 编程语言，它是一种高级的、可移植的编程语言。 Linux 内核用 C 和一些汇编代码写成。

Richard Matthew Stallman

Richard Matthew Stallman 在 1984 年启动了 GNU 项目。最大的一个目标 - 完全自由的类-Unix 操作系统。

2.1991 – 元年

Linus Torvalds, 1991

Linus Torvalds 在芬兰赫尔辛基开始了 Linux 内核开发，他是为他的硬件 - Intel 30386 CPU 编写的程序。他也使用 Minix 和 GNU C 编译器。下面是 Linus Torvalds 给 Minix 新闻组的历史消息：

From: torvalds@klaava.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds) Newsgroups: comp.os.minix Subject: What would you like to see most in minix? Summary: small poll for my new operating system Message-ID: Date: 25 Aug 91 20:57:08 GMT Organization: University of Helsinki

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)

从此之后，Linux 开始得到了世界范围志愿者和专业专家的支持。Linus 的同事 Ari Lemmke 把它命名为 “Linux” - 这其实是他们的大学 ftp 服务器上的项目目录名称。

3.1992

在 GPLv2 协议下发布了 0.12 版 Linux 内核。
