    This is because linux also started with the 0.9x series.

    No, 0.9x came several months after 0.01, the first release - though Linus did skip from 0.12 to 0.95 when the project started to stabilise. See Riley Williams's archive for details.

    Whatever. He shares the trademark as he has the rest of his work. For Linus' comments on the matter see http://www.memalpha.cx/Linux/trademark.html

    People will bring servers to their knees to get the latest one-line change to the Linux kernel, and yet they'll run a mid-1990s version of the Windows lines and wonder why they have trouble.

    Seriously, if Win95 was released 8/24/95, do you realize what version of the Linux kernel was released just 4 days later, on 8/28/95?

    1.3.21

    Is anyone here running that version of the kernel? If you don't want problems with Windows, the least you can do (besides not using it at all) is to use a relatively current version). I can only imagine the flaming if someone was on here complaining that their 1.3.21-based distribution had problems with their new hardware.

    Remember 1994? Monica Lewinski was just another intern. peecees were still 16 Bit. Linux was 1.0 and a guy named Jim Clarke started Netscape Comunications.

    Checking the Linux Kernel Version History reveals that v.1.0 was released on 13 March 1994. I think that we can be forgiving enough to accept "around 1995" and "five or six years" as reasonably close to the mark. I certainly don't think that this error is so egregious as to invalidate whatever point the original article's author is trying to make.

    September 17, 1991.

    And if you want to take a look at it, here's a link.

    1.1.0 came out on april 6th. (check here)

    So we've run about the typical time elapsed between dev kernel versions but the current kernel version is half that of normal so it makes me wonder if we're ready yet.

    the amount of changes from one verion point to the next is not always the same. you should rather compare times versus changes. considering that the changes from 2.0 to 2.2 where a lot more than what will happen from 2.2 to 2.4 those times just seem reasonable...

    greetings, eMBee.
