...Chapter One (History of Linux): The history of Linux begins not with the release of Linux in 1991 but with the creation of GNU (which stands for Gnu’s not UNIX). This started with the purpose of creating a free OS to anyone who wanted with. By 1991 everything was complete except for the kernel which Linus Torvalds provided. The Code was free, this dated to back to when UNIX was released to Universities for a low cost and that way its students would be familiar with it and it would slowly permeate the marketplace once those students got out of the schoolhouse and made their way up the ladder of business. Some of the best things about Linux is the fact that is has a large selection of applications written for it that range from word processing to graphical tools to security administration software. It provides a wide range of peripherals and easy to install software. It works on a variety of platforms as well with a variety of hardware which allows it to be extremely portable. Another big key in this development is the creation of UNIX in B programming language which gave rise to C, C++ and Objective C. Linux has the shells to be able to interpret command language and programming language. GUI allows people to customize the desktop environment to suit their needs or tastes. Chapter Two and Three (Installation and Step by Step Installation): In the installation of Linux there are many different mediums to install it from. You can install it form a Live CD, An install...
