Old School Linux Remembered, Parts 0.02 & 0.03 163
eldavojohn writes "Following our last history lesson of Linux 0.01, the Kernel Trap is talking about the following announcements that would lead to one of the greatest operating systems today. A great Linus quote on release 0.02 (just 19 days after 0.01): 'I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got minix. This is a program for hackers by a hacker. I've enjoyed [sic] doing it, and somebody might enjoy looking at it and even modifying it for their own needs. It is still small enough to understand, use and modify, and I'm looking forward to any comments you might have.'"

Never use a 0.01 Release, especially not in a production environment.

I'm in the progress of releasing a nano-kernel, kernel 0.000001, which could make me the coolest geek alive on earth.
Excuse me while these two nice gentlemen tie me up on my bed with the nice long sleeves I wear.
