who is the father of linux ?

If you ask someone or refer some book you will find answer to this question as “Linus Tarvolds” .but i cant agree with this because it is not easy to design an OS by single person that too he was just a third year student when he release his OS .Even his professor cant do this thing, how come a small boy can do this ??????

Torvalds was 21 and a third year university student (at Helsinki, I think) when he created Linux. However, he was already using a program called MINUX, which he found ineffective. Linux was created after that.

There is debate about the Minux/Linus connection, but Torvalds insists is was completely his creation.

See Interview with Torvalds:
