 Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux started out as a terminal emulator written in Intel 80386 assembler and C which was compiled into binary form and booted from a floppy disk so that it would run outside of any operating system.
The terminal emulator was running two threads: one for sending and one for receiving characters from the serial port.
When Linus needed to write and read files to disk, this task-switching terminal emulator was extended with an entire filesystem handler, and after that gradually evolved into an entire operating system targeted at POSIX -compliance.
