[$] 25 Years of Linux — so far

On August 25, 1991, an obscure student in Finland named Linus BenedictTorvalds posteda message to the comp.os.minix Usenet newsgroup saying that he wasworking on a free operating system as a project to learn about the x86architecture. He cannot possibly have known that he was launching aproject that would change the computing industry in fundamental ways.Twenty-five years later, it is fair to say that none of us foresaw whereLinux would go - a lesson that should be taken to heart when trying toimagine where it might go from here.
