Happy birthday, Linux! Here are 6 Linux origin stories

On August 25, 1991, Linux 0.01 was announced. All of us have a story to tell about Linux. I told my story a couple of months ago, but for those who weren’t here: My first exposure to Linux was when my grassroots hospice organization moved from paper to digital charting. We didn’t have the funding to get something proprietary, but the IT department had Linux set up on our old machine, and we used the GNOME desktop and OpenOffice to start our journey in creating digital assets.
