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.)

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. -- Curt Mills, WE7U hacker at fluke dot com Senior Methods Engineer/SysAdmin "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U "The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system!"
