1. [email_address] SOME WONDERFUL SOFTWARES FOR EVERYDAY USE By [email_address] Team http://www.lug-iitd.org groups.google.com/group/iitdlug (mailing list)

2. Linux Softwares 1991,Linus Torvalds

3. First Post by Linus Some Histories of Linux begin with this message posted by Linus Torvalds to the comp.os.minix newsgroup on August 25,1991: Hello everybody out there using minix- I'm doing(free) operating system(Just a hobby.won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones.This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.I 'd like any feebackon things people like/dislike in minix,as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)) among other things............Any suggestions are welcome,but i won't promise to implement them :- ) Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

4. Softwares in Linux It is used as an operating system for a wide variety of computer hardware , including desktop computers , supercomputers , [4] video game systems, such as the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 , several arcade games , and embedded devices such as mobile phones , routers , and stage lighting systems.
