GENESIS .. where it all started....
What started with this email is today a Major operating system
and has created serious dents in traditional proprietary OS Markets.For many this email Written by Linus Torvalds is an object of religious significance.This OS now runs millions of computes worldwide. The philosophy was simple "Given enough eyeballs,all bugs are shallow" this concept of releasing code enabled programmers around the world to enhance it , thus improve overall code quality

From: torvalds@klaava.helsinki.fi (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
To: Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system
Hello everybody out there using minix-I'm doing a (free)
operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional
like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones. This has been brewing since
april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it
somewhat
Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
Linus
