9) Linus Torvalds of Linux Operating
System Linus Torvalds originally used the Minix OS on his
system which he replaced by his OS.
Hence the working name was Linux (Linus' Minix).
He thought the name to be too egotistical and planned to
name it Freax (free + freak + x).
His friend Ari Lemmk encouraged Linus to upload it to a
network so it could be easily downloaded.
Ari gave Linus a directory called linux on his FTP server,
as he did not like the name Freax.
Linus like that directory name and he kept the name of his
new OS to LINUX.....
10) Picture taken when INFY was
started. This picture was found in the album of the clerk
who took this picture...
The picture was with that clerk only because it was
his birthday and he just told everyone to stand together at
one place to take a pic.
He borrow a camera from his friend and as he can not tell
any of his boss to take pic, so he took pic by himself...
even it was his birthday.
