I remember kernel v.0.99pl13... Back then it seemed that everything Linux
was version < 1.0. Stuff was solid then too. I had one crash in four
years. Comparing with Windows 3.1, 3.2, etc., I was almost thinking that
any software version higher than 1.0 couldn't be any good. (And so we all
learn and learn.)

Keep in mind that version numbers are often fairly arbitrary (esp. on
open source projects).
True. Anyone remember this one? 0.99pl92
That's a linux kernel from the time when Linus just would _not_ bump
it up to v1.0 and move on. He stayed with 0.99 versions for a
lonnnnnnng time.
