Linux - The Beginning of Linux
Time: 1991
Place: Helsinki, Finland
Details: In 1991, while attending the University of Helsinki, Torvalds became curious about operating systems. Frustrated by the licensing of MINIX, which at the time-limited it to educational use only, he began to work on his own operating system kernel, which eventually became the Linux kernel.
