Today is auspicious for another reason. 30 years ago today, in 1994, Linus Torvalds released the 1.0 version of Linux. Of course Linux had been available since the fall of 1991, but to me there's just something defining about a 1.0 release.
@mike But, for me, version 0.99pl12 will live in my memory forever as being the version that made it possible to use my PC properly for the first time! 🙂
@ericsfraga I didn't start using it until the 2.0 era. It really opened my eyes to what was possible with an off the shelf computer. I've never looked back.
