Linux Now 20 yrs !!!!

Linux Now 20 yrs !!!!

Twenty years ago this summer, Linus Torvalds made a bold decision to share his operating system with the world. Not long after that, he chose to license it under the General Public License. Nothing in computing has been the same since.

In fact, today Linux is the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing, which means that the 20th Anniversary of Linux is an opportunity for the community to come together in celebration of this great success story and in collaboration on how it will define the next 20 years of Linux.

DNT SAY YOU ARE NOT USING LINUX.. Today there is no one can live without linux ..!!!!

Today Linux is literally everywhere: in your phone, at your ATM, in your TV, on your desktop, at the movies, in your car, and in more places

Where else : Google, Twitter and Facebook .... Android OS
