Noting Linus Torvalds’ historic 1991 Usenet Linux posting, in which the OS’ creator wrote that he was “doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby
won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones,” Enright said that today, Oracle is “aggressively” transferring its internal IT to

some point in their workday.
