Linux Timeline By LWN and LJ

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-at-my-navel dept.

A reader wrote to us with the link that Linux Journal has put together a Linux Timeline. Kinda nice to walk down memory lane - and think about what was on peoples' mind at each major point. Of course, if I see the original letter Linus wrote at the beginning one more time...*grin*

    It's kinda funny that it started out Linux as an alternative to Windows and what it has become is xxx Linux as an alternative to xyz linux. Distos competing against each other, instead of ultimately working together to continue to improve it. There needs to be some sort of linux management system to get things under control.

    Nice try, but you forgot about the dozens of security holes in sendmail. (Remember the Morris Worm?)

    And do remember that RedHat is the most insecure OS around in its default install.
