5 oktoobril, 1991 aastal andis Linus Benedict Torvalds teada comp.os.minix grupis uue minix-i laadse tasuta operatsioonisüsteemi valmimisest. Tema sõnum oli järgmine:
Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just dying to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? Are you finding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more all-nighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be just for you :-)

As I mentioned a month(?) ago, I'm working on a free version of a minix-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the stage where it's even usable (though may not be depending on what you want), and I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It is just version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I've successfully run bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress etc under it.
Siis ei teadnud veel keegi, et Linuse poolt loodud operatsioonisüsteem kunagi nii polulaarseks saab, kuid nii see läinud on. Kuid eks see ole ka kõigi teiste sündidega nii - keegi ei tea täpselt, kuidas edaspidi läheb.

Soovime ka Pingviini Webi poolt palju õnne sünnipäevaks Linuxile.
