HISTORY OF LINUX

The history of Linux began in 1991 with

the commencement of a personal project
by Finnish student Linus Torvalds to
create a new free operating system kernel.
Since then, the resulting Linux kernel has
been marked by constant growth
throughout its history.

have an Extended partition. It will create one
whether you like it or not

strange dependency tracking
