In 1991, a student
from Finland, Linus Torvalds, started a hobby. The 'hobby'
eventually became what we know today as Linux. A full featured POSIX like
operating system. Linux has been developed not just by Linus, but by hundreds
of programmers around the world using the internet as their connection.
The most interesting aspects about this project are that this massive,
world wide development effort is largely ncoordinated, and Linux is free.

Apache was originally
based on code and ideas found in the most popular HTTP server of the time..
NCSA httpd 1.3 (early 1995). It has since evolved into a far superior system
which can rival (and probably surpass) almost any other UNIX based HTTP
server in terms of functionality, efficiency and speed. Since it began,
it has been completely rewritten, and includes many new features. Apache
is, as of January 1997, the most popular WWW server on the Internet, according
to the Netcraft Survey. For more info on Apache click here.
Simply
the finest graphics program anyhwere, period. Most of the graphics
on this site were done by someone with very little artistic talent (me),
in just a few days using nothing but GIMP. If being powerful
and easy to use isn't enough it just happens to come free with Linux.
