or control of
nuclear reactors of submarines and ships many nuclear war.
11.Linux programmers are often associated with living
“isolated” in the world, however, over 75% of the code
developed for the Linux kernel came from private sector
developers. In fact, large
technology companies like Intel, Google, IBM, AMD, Sun
Microsystems, Dell, Asus, HP, Analog Devices, Oracle, Novell
or Red Hat help developing applications, contributing to the
core or pre-installing any GNU / Linux their machines. In fact,
during the 2003 Super Bowl (which paralyzes the United
States and remains glued to the TV for many Americans), IBM
delivered a beautiful ad talking about Linux and open source
options.
12.The GNU project in 1991, had no drivers and kernel, that’s
what led to Linus Torvalds to address the Linux kernel
development. If GNU had had, perhaps, Torvalds had not been
put to work on that.
13.The Linux kernel is now the most widely ported operating
system, running on a great variety of operating systems.
14.World known companies such as Google, Cisco, Facebook,
