Linus left the following content when releasing this kernel:
"Are you still worried about Minix-1.1? Are you still writing your own device drivers? Are you frustrated because you cannot find a project that can be freely modified? As I said one month ago on July 15, 1991), I will release a free version of Minix similar to the AT-386 system kernel. Now it has been officially completed, and I am willing to open source it to make it more widely spread. The current version is 0.02, But I have compiled bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress through it"
Linus did not know that the "operating system that can be freely modified" released by Linus can become the world's largest open-source operating system today. However, the successful Linux operating system and network today have 0.5 million open-source projects with immeasurable prospects. It is called "What the hot guys own ".
Now Google has launched an Android platform based on the Linux operating system. The Linux-based Mobile phone platform will always be a strong competitor of Symbian and Windows Mobile. However, Nokia acquired Linux developers Trolltech and Symbian in January this year and July respectively, and then announced that these systems would all be open-source.
