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...

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.
