Certificate in Linux

Put in the simplest terms, Linux is an operating system. By 2008, it represented an astonishing $25 billion ecosystem. Since its start in 1991, Linux has grown to become a force in computing, powering everything from the New York Stock Exchange to mobile phones to supercomputers to consumer devices. This extraordinary growth in the usage of Linux OS worldwide results from the factors such as higher security, cost-effectiveness, robust performance, flexibility and stability.

Because of this huge growth, almost one million jobs have already been created for Linux Professionals worldwide; yet only a few are qualified enough to take on the jobs. The demand for Linux Professionals still far exceeds the supply.

How did Linux start?

Linus Torvalds, a young man was studying computer Science at the University of Helsinki.

After buying a PC with an Intel 386 CPU, he began using Minix, an Unix-inspired operating system created by Andrew Tannenbaum for use as a teaching tool. Linus was not impressed with the system in general and in particular he lamented its inability to do terminal emulation, which he needed so he could connect to the university's computers. Linus decided to do the terminal emulation program himself, independently of Minix. These were the first steps toward creating Linux.

Linus quickly developed the terminal emulation program and it was sufficient for his needs for a while. However, Linus began thinking that it would be nice to be able to do other things with it like transferring and saving files. This is where Linux was really born. Originally, Linus wanted to name his creation 'Freax' (pronounced like the English word freaks). He changed it to Linux at the prompting of a friend.

Linux - Today...

• Linux started as a project in September 1991 by Linus Torvalds
• 10,000 lines of source code under the General Public License (GPL)
• Code base has now grown to an astonishing 204 million lines of code.
• Estimated that these 204 million lines of source code would cost around $10.8 billion if it was written on a commercial basis
• Would take $1.4 billion to develop the Linux Kernel alone.
• Runs NYSE to Mobile Phones to Supercomputers to Consumer Devices
