Linux was developed by programmers around the world as a community project, started by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Using the internet, Torvalds expressed an interest in creating a new operating system.
In an unprecedented move, Torvalds released what he had at that time on Internet under the GPL license. The GPL license allows you to share, and modify the program as you need, but also requires that all changes must be shared, so that everyone has the ability to use Linux equally. This effectively makes Linux "community property" to the entire world.
Mr. Torvalds was surprised when literally hundreds of bugfixes and improvements were offered by volunteers, almost immediately. Since then, Linux has grown through those volunteers to become one of the world's most widely used computer technologies for everything from the Internet webservers to cell phones.
Because anyone can contribute time, programming, or other help, people from hundreds of countries around the world contribute programming improvements, translations, documentation, and advice. Some are paid by companies such as IBM and RedHat, but most do so for free and the sense of community spirit.

Linux is a monolithic kernel. Some operating systems with a microkernel use Linux as a process for providing drivers, but this is irrelevant to mainstream Linux.
Who developed Yellow Dog Linux?

Can you run AutoCAD on Linux?

What is the possibility of halo playing on a Linux PC?
None what-so-ever. Halo was developed with Microsoft. So Linux will not work with it.
What is the OS which is developed in C language?
There are many operating systems developed in C, the most notable of which is Linux.
Where the Linux head quarter?
Generally accepted to be the Linux Foundation, which is located in San Francisco, Tokyo, and Seoul. However, Linux development is such that Linux itself is not really developed in any one place. Every Linux distributor is headquartered somewhere else, and most contributors to Linux aren't part of the Linux Foundation.
Was Linus Torvalds a college student when he developed Linux Operating System?
yes
Where can one find the latest Linux downloads?
One can find the latest Linux downloads on the Linux website including the latest software such as HTPC Manager. The website also has how to tutorials. Linux was originally developed as a free software and operating system.
