When was linux first released?

1994

When was Linux developed and why?

What I am sure of, is that the Linux kernel was announced on August 25, 1993, and first released on September 17, 1991. Why was Linux created? So that the young Linus Torvalds could use his computer hardware better and with fewer restrictions.
