Today, the editor introduces you to the father of linux, I believe many people do not know much, in order to let you know more about the father of linux, so to sum up the following content, let's follow the editor to have a look.

Who is the father of linux?

The father of linux is Linus Benedict Totovaz.

In 1991, Linus Torvalds (Linus Torvalds), a student at the University of Helsinki, wrote a computer operating system himself, named Linux, and published the source code.

Character experience

Tovaz was born on December 28, 1969 in Helsinki, Finland. His father, Nils Torvalds, is an active communist and radio journalist who was elected a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Finland. The Tovaz family belongs to Finnish Swedes, an ethnic minority who make up 6% of Finland. He graduated from the computer Science Department of the University of Helsinki and worked at Transmeta Corporation in California's Silicon Valley from 1997 to 2003. He is currently employed in open source development experiments (OSDL:Open Source Development Labs, Inc) to develop the Linux kernel. He has three girls with his wife Tove, a former Finnish women's karate champion.

Unlike many other hackers, Tovaz keeps a low profile and rarely comments on the products of commercial competitors, such as Microsoft, but adheres to open source beliefs and is unhappy with the FUD strategy of rivals such as Microsoft.

For example, in an email in response to comments by Craig Mundie, a senior vice president of Microsoft, about the open source movement, which Mundie criticized for undermining intellectual property rights, Towaz wrote: "I don't know if Mundie has heard of Sir Isaac Newton? He is famous not only for creating classical physics (and his story with Apple), but also for saying that I can see further because I stand on the shoulders of giants. " Torvaz added: "I'd rather listen to Newton than Mundie. He (Newton) has been dead for nearly 300 years, but he doesn't make the room stink like this."

Linus, 47, is currently employed by the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL,Open Source Development Labs) to devote himself to developing the Linux kernel. Although the young man looks inconspicuous, for example, Linus once mocked himself in his autobiography Just for Fun: "I am an ugly child, and anyone who has seen a picture of me when I was a child will think I look like a beaver. And imagine my untidy clothes and a big nose inherited from the Torvaz family, so that what I look like in your mind. " But this does not affect Linus' great value to the whole business society at all-Linux represents a new form of open intellectual property rights in the network era, which will fundamentally subvert the traditional business model of closed software property rights represented by Windows. More importantly, such subversion has already quietly appeared in every corner of the business world.

After reading the above, do you have a general understanding of the detailed introduction of the father of linux? If you want to know more, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
