From what I remember reading and learning on linux way back when he was still in university or in college. And he had purchased his first computer which came with (Hacks and coughs and slides out.) Windows 3.1. I remember reading that he did not like that and he loved using unix and decided to base it on the unix environment. Kind of like a distant cousin of unix but based for the pc. I remember reading this in a linux for dummies when version 5 or 6 of red hat was out. But for what ever reason he decided to make linux linux it is a good thing.
