Err, Linux is a child of the 90s...

Linus began work on it in April 1991: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.minix/c/dlNtH7RRrGA/m/_R...

I was under impression that he started around 1989 and also that's when he had a debate with prof. Tanenbaum, but now I see it was later. My mistake

Btw, hard not to love the line "it's just a hobby, won't be big" from original announcement of Linus... Be careful what you promise ;)
