 17 September 1991: Linus publicly released the first #Linux Kernel version 0.01, and the rest is history. Did Linux play a significant role in your IT carrier? 🎂🐧🥮🍥🍰

 @425a31b8 Linux is currently my career so if it didn't exist I haven't a clue what I'd do. 

Maybe be a windows admin *shudders*

 @425a31b8 in 1994 I set up a community computer centre on the edge of a South African informal settlement (Ivory Park, Midrand) using Linux and some old corporate PCs and a printer. Ran for like 9 months between reboots. I think a few careers got started there, writing up CVs and applying for jobs via email.

 @425a31b8 it hasn’t played a role in my professional career but it’s only strengthened my interest in computing. and I am quite comfortable with CLI thanks to linux. so yes and no?

 @425a31b8 it didn't play a significant role in my career, it changed my life.
