He thought the name to be too egotistical and planned to name it Freax (free + freak + x). His friend Ari Lemmk encouraged Linus to upload it to a network so it could be easily downloaded. Ari gave Linus a directory called linux on his FTP server, as he did not like the name Freax. Linus like that directory name and he kept the name of his new OS to LINUX... |

yeah, but if you compare the older Windows & DOS OS's to the modern stuff like NT, 2000, XP and even Vista, you'll notice the older ones had better programming and less flaws than the newer ones do, because ever since Gates practically handed control over to a Board of Directors who were more concerned about money than a good product, Micro$oft tech has been getting worse & worse. (though it's good to see Sony getting knocked down a peg of 9 since the X-Box out-classes the PlayStations.) B) B) B) |
