Its nice to read the mails/articles (usenet news) which has changed the world, the way we live.
The mail from Torvalds. He talks about Linux 0.02 .
“This is a program for hackers by a hacker. I’ve enjouyed doing it, and somebody might enjoy looking at it and even modifying it for their own needs.”
He didnot know that time, that this kernel will drive the world some day.
Linux was not a standalone kernel that time. It needed minix to run it.
Other articles like Stallman’s announcement of GNU : New Unix Implementation : Free Unix, Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web, mention of Lisa , MS Windows , TCP/IP, Y2K problem and more…
Worth going through.
