Hi,
While there are several concepts of when Linux was "born", certainly one of
them is September 17, 1991 when the first tarball of code was posted on the
net:
linux-0.01.tar.gz
before this, the name of the system was supposed to be "Freax"
For those newer to Linux and Free and Open Source Software, there is a brief
history of those early moments written by Linus himself at this URL:

Warmest regards,
