Posted by timothy on from the angels-on-head-of-pin-typing dept.

thorgil writes "Guessing about the linux-2.6.0 release date is hard, but here is a new angle (pseudo-scientific): I made a graph (gif) based on errors/warnings from John Cherry's (OSDL) compile statistics for linus' linux bitkeeper tree. My guess is around 12th October, 2003. What is your guess and more important, why?"

    wow you are way behind the times...

    Gif's are now public domain. the patent ran out a while ago.

    It's all a moot point now. Although IE still has very broken png support.

    Besides it should be a jpeg as they are smaller and waste less bandwidth.

    Gentoo was too incomplete for my taste. I use Debian (Sid/PPC and Sarge/X86), OpenZaurus, OpenBSD, and my own custom-made bootable Linux disc.

    When I get a G4 or Sparc64, I'll give Gentoo another shot.
