Let me explain.  I read it from the book "Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary" Initially Linus call it as Freax.  Linus need an FTP server to upload the code.  The one of the Master student in one of university in Helsinki make a directory name Linux and he suggest Linus to stick with the name Linux. Then the name stuck. You guys trace Linux history by the reading the mentioned book.
