Linux Kernel
Linus Benedict Torvlads ,born on December 28 1969 in Helsinki, Finland.He is the first Finnish American Software Engineer and hacker and known for his Linux Kernel.He also invented the revision control system GIT.This system widely used in the current world.Linus Torvlads kept Freax, a mix of "free,"freak' and "x" for UNIX type system.But the got changed , when his friend named Ari Lemmke who administrated a FTP server where Linus System was hosted, he gave the name Linux as the name of the directory on the server.So nice story!!.An approx of 2% of Linux was written by Linus himself.That 2% is a large amount of contribution as there were 1000's who contributed for Linux.He is now the chief of the Linus Mark Institute , http://www.linuxfoundation.org/.Here are few training on Linux Kernel.
