庆祝 Linux 24 岁生日！

今天是 Linux 的 24 岁生日。

在 1991 年 4月，芬兰的赫尔辛基大学年仅 21 岁的学生 Linus Torvalds 开始做一个他自己的操作系统。在 24 年前的今天，即 1991年8月25日，他在 usenet 的 comp.os.minix 新闻组中发布了 Linux 的第一个公告，宣布了 Linux 的诞生。以下是当年 Torvalds 写的邮件：

11. Hello everybody out there using minix -
12. I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
13. professional like gnu)for386(486) AT clones.This has been brewing
14. since april,andis starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
15. things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
16. (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
17. among other things).
18. I've currently ported bash(1.08)and gcc(1.40),and things seem to work.
19. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
20. I'd like to know what features most people would want.Any suggestions
21. are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
22. Linus(torv...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
23. PS.Yes- it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
24. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
25. will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.
