When
Linus Torvalds sent his first email on August 25, 1991 announcing a project to
create a new operating system, who could have imagined the impact it would have
on the technology industry and how it would propel the concept of open source
software development. Today, open source and Linux are used across the globe in
almost every data center, powering trading platforms, processing millions of
transactions each day and embedded in devices, from cell phones to televisions
to refrigerators.
Oracle
was an early supporter of Linux and in 1998 was one of the first commercial
software vendors to invest in Linux by porting the first commercial relational
database to Linux, with Oracle Database release 8. Our commitment to Linux is as strong today as
it was in the beginning and as cloud, containers, and other technologies bring
us into and through the next 25 years, Oracle plans to continue the journey.
Here’s to another
great 25 years of Linux!
