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.

    But why the hell would you refer to LWN as Eklektix? Why was that plug necessary? That was just plain dumb, you should get to the point, and cut out the bullshit.
    Thank you.

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

    Now, you got modded down and the parent didn't. Conclusive proof that begging to be modded down is the best defense against it happening...

    (Hey moderators, mod this down too. It is way off topic)
