Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an independently-created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of the then-new i386 architecture.

The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as it can be.

Ядро Linux набыло такую ж ідэалягічную вагу, які і тэхнічную. Існуе суполка людзей, якія вераць у ідэалы вольнага праграмнага забесьпячэньня й выдаткоўваюць іх уласны час на дапамогу ў станаўленьні вольнага праграмнага забесьпячэньня на столькі гарным, на колькі яно можа ім быць.

The spirit of open source, commonly attributed to Linux, is influencing software developers and users everywhere to drive communities with common goals.

Дух вольнага праграмнага забесьпячэньня, які звычайна зьвязваюць зь Linux, узьдзейнічае на распрацоўшчыкаў і карыстальнікаў вольнага праграмнага забесьпячэньня, і яны ствараюць суполкі з агульнымі мэтамі.

The <emphasis>GNU Project</emphasis> was launched in January 1984 by Richard Stallman, to develop a complete UNIX-style operating system which is comprised of free software: the GNU system. Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the Linux kernel, are now widely used.

The GNU project is closely linked to the philosophy of free software, which is central to the projects that derive from it, such as Ubuntu. The concept of free software is explained at <xref linkend="free-software"/>.

Праэкт GNU цесна зьвязаны з філязофіяй вольнага праграмнага забесьпячэньня, якая зьяўляецца галоўнай ідэяй для праэктаў, што паходзяць ад яго. Напрыклад, Ubuntu. Больш дэталёва гэтая канцэпцыя разьгледжана на <xref linkend="free-software"/>.
