Celebrating Linux's 15th birthday
The wife and I are celebrating the anniversary of Linux, by watching "RevolutionOS", streaming from Netflix to our TiVo.
I installed Linux for the first time back in 1994.
I installed Slackware release 1.1.2 off of, I believe it was, 24 floppies; the day after I managed to actually get it downloaded (it took me about a week from the release date of February 5th)... and another two weeks to actually make it work.
Early Linux distributions were very much hackerware. The Slackware distro I was using wasn't even on a fully released kernel; Linux was still on beta 0.9.
About a month later, on March 14th, 1994, Linus Torvalds officially released the Linux kernel 1.0.0.
That would be 15 years ago today.
