  • Unix Development

    Ken Thompson, from AT&T Bell Laboratories, developed the Unix operating system, adapting it to the needs of a research environment

  • Collaboration of Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie

    Creation of the Unix system code to C. What I turn Unix into a transportable operating system.
  • Period: to

    Unix's gradual growth

    Its first versions were distributed free of charge to the scientific computer departments of many renowned universities.

  • First official versions of unix.

    Bell Labs started to issue official Unix versions and to license the system to different users.

  • Berkeley released its first version of Unix

    This version of Unix became the main competitor of the Bell Labs version of ATT&T

  • Microsoft created a new version of unix.

    Microsoft developed a version of Unix for PC called Xenix.

  • microsoft developed the system version 4

    Incorporated almost all the features found in the SistemaV version3, BSDversion4.3, SunOS and Xenix. As a response to this new version, several companies, such as IBM and Hewlett Packard, established the Open Software Foundation (OSF) to create their own standard version of Unix.

  • Linus Torvalds

    At that time he was a computer science student at the University of Helsinki, he began to program the first lines of code of an operating system (finally called LINUX) as a hobby and without being able to imagine the great impact it would bring.

  • First kernel version. 0.0 version

    manages to get a version of the kernel that could be considered usable. This version was made available to everyone, many people downloaded and tested it and many people considered that it could contribute something to this operating system and joined the development of it.

  • First official version of Linux.

    (version 0.02) With this version, Linus was able to run Bash (GNU Bourne Again Shell) and gcc (GNU C Compiler), and since then many versions have been made with the help of programmers from all over the world.

  • Linus' debate

    In 1992 he participated in discussions with Linus about the idea of using a monolithic kernel instead of those based on a microkernel which Tanenbaum believed would be the basis of future operating systems.

  • The first Linux distributions are created.

  • Torvalds introduces version 1.0

  • Linux is transported to the DEC and SUN SPARC computer platforms

  • Linux 1.2 version

  • Linux pet

    is a small penguin with a smiling and comical look. The idea that the Linux kernel mascot was a penguin came from Linus Torvalds himself, the creator of the Linux kernel.

  • Linux version 2.0

  • Linux version 2.2

    The 2.2 series of the Linux kernel is released in January with improved network code and SMP support.

  • IBM announces an extensive project for the support of Linux

  • The 2.4 series of the Linux kernel is released.

  • The 2.6 series of the Linux kernel is released,

  • Linux 3.0

  • 2 linux versions launched

    3.3.6 y 3.4

  • Linux 4.0
