+      Started by Linus Torvalds in 1991 as a kernel for i386
+      PCs: <q>just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu</q>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Adopted as the kernel of the Debian system in 1993
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      After 20 years' development, supports more hardware
+      architectures and devices than anything else

+       <li>
+         Hardware vendors <em>must</em> provide Linux drivers because
+         their customers demand it

+    <li>
+      Still the default kernel for the Debian system
