Linus Torvalds:
(p 81). My original goal was to create an operating system that I could
eventually use as a replacement for Minix.  It didn't have to do more
than Minix, but it had to do things in Minix that I cared about, and
some other things I cared about, too.

Linux didn't start as a server OS.  It started out as a desktop OS for
Linus.
