The Linux Operating System is 20 years old.
A podcast series, presented by Senior Lecturer in Computing at the Open University, Blaine Price, tells the story of an extraordinary operating system that in two short decades has grown from a students’ project to the foundation of the internet.
Linux (pronounced linn-ux) runs on everything from your wireless router and Android Smartphone to CERN's most powerful computer.
It has championed a whole new philosophy of collaboration and freedom in the software development community.
We will hear from its users, its innovators and its originators.
This is the story of Linux.
