by student in Helsinki,Finlandia named Linus
Torvalds
The name of “Linux” has taken from the
founder namely “Linus” Torvalds
6. It’sFree! Yes,because anyone can change
the source code without pay any fee.
Free from Viruses,because the computer virus
in general running in binnary X11 and
“masquerade” as Executable Program
(exe).While Linux is not running that binnary.
8. Linux Distribution is a member of the family

This distribution ever be a king in Linux world.Almost all
Linux documentation prepared by Slackware. Two things
most important from Slackware are all of contents (kernel,
library or application) already tested. Maybe the system is
old but surely very stable. Second,because Slackware
recommended us to install from source so that every
program installed can be optimize with our system. This is
the reason it can’t use binary RPM and until Slackware
version 4.0, it still using libc5 not glibc2 like the other.
