Linux 2001 Timeline

Posted by HeUnique on from the this-is-definately-in-a-must-read dept.

From the people at Eklektix Inc. (ok, everyone knows them simply as LWN or Linux Weekly News) have written the Linux 2001 Timeline (you can read it all at once with this link, though it's 1MB download). Lots of funny notes from Linus, Eric Raymond, RMS, some sad moments. Who would have remembered that Linux kernel 2.4.0 went out only a year ago (Jan. 4, 2001), Eric Raymond promising SourceForge mirrors, and other tidbits -- A definite must-read.

    Actually, this is very much on topic. Try reading the headline _AND_ the comment before you moderate.

    We've just been to see the Lord of the Rings film. I can't believe they left Beorn out of it!
