Frases de Linus Torvalds
página 5

Linus Benedict Torvalds es un ingeniero de software finés americano, conocido por iniciar y mantener el desarrollo del "kernel" Linux, basándose en el sistema operativo libre Minix creado por Andrew S. Tanenbaum y en algunas herramientas, varias utilidades y los compiladores desarrollados por el proyecto GNU. Actualmente Torvalds es responsable de la coordinación del proyecto. Pertenece a la comunidad sueco-parlante de Finlandia.

Sus padres tomaron su nombre de Linus Pauling . Comenzó sus andanzas informáticas a los 11 años cuando su abuelo, un matemático y estadístico de la Universidad, compró uno de los primeros microordenadores Commodore en 1980 y le pidió ayuda para usarlo.

A finales de los años 80 tomó contacto con los ordenadores IBM, PC y en 1991 adquirió un ordenador con procesador modelo 80386 de Intel.

En 1988 fue admitido en la Universidad de Helsinki, donde estudio Ciencias de la Computación. Ese mismo año el profesor Andrew S. Tanenbaum saca a la luz el S.O. Minix con propósitos didácticos. Dos años después, en 1990, Torvalds empieza a aprender el lenguaje de programación C en su universidad.

A la edad de 21 años, con un año de experiencia programando , ya conocía lo suficiente del sistema operativo Minix como para tomar prestadas algunas ideas y empezar un proyecto personal. Basándose en Design of the Unix Operating System, publicado por Maurice J. Bach en 1986, crearía una implementación que ejecutará cualquier tipo de programa, pero sobre una arquitectura de ordenadores compatibles, IBM/PC.

Este proyecto personal desembocó el 5 de octubre de 1991 con el anuncio de la primera versión de Linux capaz de ejecutar BASH y el compilador conocido como GCC .

En enero de 1992 se adoptó la Licencia Pública General para Linux. Ésta añade libertades de uso a Linux totalmente opuestas a las del software propietario, permitiendo su modificación, redistribución, copia y uso ilimitado. Este modelo de licencia facilita lo que es conocido como el modelo de desarrollo de bazar, que ha dado estabilidad y funcionalidad sin precedentes a este sistema operativo.

En 1997 Linus Torvalds recibe los premios 1997 Nokia Foundation Award de Nokia y Lifetime Achievement Award at Uniforum Pictures. Ese mismo año finaliza los estudios superiores tras una década como estudiante e investigador en la Universidad de Helsinki, coordinando el desarrollo del núcleo del S.O. desde 1992.

Torvalds trabajó en Transmeta desde febrero de 1997 hasta junio de 2003. Actualmente trabaja para el Open Source Development Labs en Beaverton, Oregón. Solo el 2% del código del Linux actual está escrito por él, pero, además de su paternidad, en su persona sigue descansando la dirección de la gestión núcleo del sistema operativo.

Torvalds posee la marca registrada "Linux" y supervisa el uso de la marca a través de la organización sin ánimo de lucro Linux International.

Frases célebres de Linus Torvalds

“No le presto mucha atención a lo que se hace con otros sistemas operativos. No compito - sólo me preocupa hacer que Linux se supere a sí mismo, no a los otros”
