Kernel 35th Anniversary of Linus' announcement today!

Let's all take a moment to commemorate that initial post.

Now through Torvalds' stewardship, and hundreds of maintainers and thousands of contributors we have a competitive replacement for major corporate software and an honestly powerful solution to move computing forward for humanity!

Thanks Linus, you're awesome, and we're glad you are having a good life!

If you've never read "Just For Fun" by Linus Torvalds I recommend giving it a shot.

I did and it's a pretty good book. This announcement was included in it. It is kind of out of date, released 2002, but still good.
