I-Linux ijika i-25

Namhlanje ayilulo naluphi na usuku, ubuncinci kwabo basebenzisi benkqubo yokusebenza simahla, kwaye sinokubandakanya bonke abo bathi ngandlela-thile basebenzise usetyenziso lwesoftware yasimahla mihla le. Ngolo suku lunye namhlanje, kodwa ngonyaka we-1991, umyalezo odumileyo ngoku Linus Torvalds kwiqela leendaba iikhompawundi, apho wacela uncedo kwabo banomdla wokuthatha inxaxheba kwiprojekthi awayeyiqala.

Iprojekthi ngokokutsho kukaTorvalds yayingaphezulu kwayo nayiphi na into "into oyithandayo" kwaye yayingajoliswanga ukuba ibe yinto yobungcali njengokuba babenjalo ngelo xesha izixhobo zeGNU. Kodwa iyahamba ukuba ubomi businika isimanga, kwaye iprojekthi encinci yeLinus ikhule yaba yile nto siyaziyo namhlanje, yiyo loo nto singazukuwela kufana nabaninzi kwaye siphinde umyalezo wokuqala weFinn, kanye njengokuba singekho Kuyathakazelisa ukugxila kwiingxoxo ezishushu awaye nazo UAndrew Tanembaum (umyili weMinix) kwaye abo banomdla banako ukubhenela kwifayile.

Endaweni yoko, oku kusisikhumbuzo sokuba isoftware yasimahla ibibaluleke kangakanani kwaye iya kuhlala ihleli, ngokuthatha inxaxheba ngakumbi nangakumbi. koorhulumente kwihlabathi liphela, kokubini kumazwe asikelwe umda ngokwezoqoqosho nakwala aphambili kwimicimbi yezentlalontle. Nangona umhlaba wedesktop ulawulwa yiWindows, loo ndawo ayisasebenzi kwaye kukho indawo yokukhula kweLinux, kwaye ukuba sithetha ngeeseva apho ukuba inkqubo yethu yokusebenza iyinkokeli kwaye ngokulula.

Ngaphandle koku, into enomdla kukuba kule minyaka ingama-25 I-Linux ikwazile ukukhokela umhlaba wesoftware yasimahla ukunceda ukuba ikhule kwaye ihlale kwindawo ebekade inayo namhlanje kwihlabathi lobuchwephesha, apho iinkampani eziphambili kwihlabathi zihlala zisebenza kwiiprojekthi ezivulekileyo kwaye zibakhuthaza.

Kuko konke oku nokunye okuninzi, namhlanje sinesizathu sokubulela bonke abo benze eli qonga likhulu- ngokungqinelana kwiLinux Foundation kubekho ngaphezu 13.500 ababhekisi phambili evela ngaphezu 1.300 iinkampani- kwaye babhiyozele nabo bonke Iminyaka engama-25 yeLinux.
