[$] Owen Le Blanc: creator of the first Linux distribution
Monday April 21, 2025. 04:05 PM , from LWN.net
Ask a Linux enthusiast who created the Linux kernel, and odds are they will have
no trouble naming Linus Torvalds—but many would be stumped if asked what the first Linux distribution was, and who created it. Some might guess Slackware, or its predecessor, Softlanding Linux System (SLS); both were arguably more influential but arrived just a bit later. The first honest-to-goodness distribution with a proper installer was MCC Interim Linux, created by Owen Le Blanc, released publicly in early 1992. I recently reached out to Le Blanc to learn more about his work on the distribution, what he has been doing since, and his thoughts on Linux in 2025.
