20 long years. Of innovating a system so fundamental, it has changed our lives.
For the better. It has powered servers, desktops, mobiles and all sorts of embedded devices.
Happy 20th Birthday Linux!
I do not want to write much. I am so much in awe. In awe of this remarkable history.
Please watch it...whether you are a techno geek or not. And introspect. On how the model of open innovation has changed your life.
Thank you Kevin! For the reminder!
ReplyDeleteCute video... I take it Microsoft's license is "free to share with enemies and competitors..." :)
ReplyDeleteI think I bought my first Linux CD in early 1994, when I saw it at a local computer shop, looking for CD-ROMs to buy after I got my first CD-ROM drive. It was the Yggdrasil distribution, just a CD in a thin booklet with a picture from Norse mythology on the cover (Yggdrasil in Norse mythology is the world tree).
What a struggle that was, I never got the GUI running on it. No settings I tried for the video card ever worked. But neither did I sweat it much, I was more of an OS/2 geek at the time.
