28 tau ki muri, i panuitia e Linus Torvalds i runga i te roopu korero comp.os.minix kua hanga e ia he tauira mahi o te punaha whakahaere Linux hou. Kei roto i te punaha te ported bash 1.08 me te gcc 1.40, i taea ai te whakaaro kia whai mana.
I hangaia a Linux hei whakautu ki te MINIX, ko te raihana kaore i whakaae te hapori ki te whakawhiti i nga whanaketanga (i te wa ano, ko te MINIX o aua tau i tuuhia hei kaupapa matauranga, he iti noa te kaha).
I te tuatahi i whakaaro a Linus ki te whakaingoa i tana whakaaro ko Freax ("kore utu", "freak" me X (Unix)), engari ko Ari Lemmke, nana i awhina a Linus ki te whakaputa ma te whakatakoto i te puranga OS ki runga i te tūmau, i whakaingoatia te raarangi "linux" .
Ko te raihana taketake "kaore i te hokohoko," engari i muri i te whakarongo ki te hapori i tipu ake i te taha o te kaupapa, ka whakaae a Linus ki te whakamahi i te GPLv2.
