20 Years of Linux!

[galacticaboy]

This year marks the 20th year of the Birth of Linux. What are you doing to celebrate? Me, I am going to try out other Distros and become a part of the Linux Foundations Celebration. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/20th

Linux is just one component of the GNU operating system, which is far older than 20 years. It's an important component that helped GNU mature into what it is today, to be sure, but it shouldn't be celebrated as the sole component of its own OS, which it just isn't. GNU (or GNU/Linux) is just far bigger than Linus's ego.

Please take note that it was Linux that was tagged as 20 years old, not every part of GNU/Linux.

Another year to go and Linux will be "legal" to drink in the US. Wonder what drunk Linux looks like?

It can be legally drunk in many countries outside the US, including Finland.

No one was really talking about GNU, we were talking about the Linux Kernel.

If you add some GNU and some interface developers... I suppose it looks like gnome-shell. :P

I want to give Linux a birthday wedgie!
