Well, RedHat Linux is casually referred as one of the many flavours of UNIX. Linux is result of work done by Mr. Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. The OS is available under the GNU General Public License (The bottom line is, use and distribution of the software is free of cost). It is due to this fact that Linux is picking up in the industrial and consumer market; some might not agree (I admit its not the only reason, but a good one…)
So leaving the rest of the Linux history and timeline to the Big Brothers (book authors), I'll try to concentrate more on the working structure of the OS rather than its past developments or telling you how Tux (The Linux penguin) came into picture.
