 This week in Linux history
 
    Five years ago: Bruce Perens [15]announced the release of Debian 1.1.
    The distribution wasy produced by "100 unpaid volunteers," and
    contained all of 474 packages.
    
    Also [16]announced was the very first version of rsync, written by
    Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras.
    
    Three years ago ([17]June 18, 1998 LWN) The LWN crew took a much
    needed break this week, putting out a very light edition. The obvious
    conclusion, of course, is that very little happened.
    
    Eric Raymond [18]announced the Trove project, which sought to change
    the way software archives were organized.
    
      I'm aiming high. I want the maintainers of the major existing
      archives to buy in early, so that by year-end the present creaking
      infrastructure can be replaced with something better.
      
    Trove has not caught on in the way Eric might have liked, with one big
    exception: SourceForge uses it.
    
    Two years ago ([19]June 17, 1999 LWN): The "Open Source" trademark
    [20]officially died, after the OSI concluded that it would never be
    able to get an official U.S. trademark registration. They promised an
    "OSI Certified" trademark instead, but that never materialized. Two
    years later, we seem to be doing OK without anybody's official stamp
    of approval. It is hard to imagine anybody trying to create such a
    stamp at this point.
    
    Guylhem Aznar took over leadership of the Linux Documentation Project.
    
    Jon "Maddog" Hall went to work for VA Linux Systems, where he remains
    employed.
    
    The current development kernel release, 2.3.6, was fairly stable.
    However the 2.3.7 patch was classified as "dangerous", with 2.3.7 pre1
    causing filesystem corruption in some cases. Unfriendly certainly, but
    only dangerous for those who don't believe in backups.
    
    Applix announced the creation of a new Linux division within the
    company. The division was to concentrate on selling products to Linux
    users; it was also supposed to operate a web site that
    
      ...will provide an on-line knowledge base for users to search for
      information associated with Linux and Open Source Software vendors
      
    The web site exists at [21]VistaSource, however Applix no longer has
    much to do with it. Applix' Linux division became VistaSource in April
    2000. Applix then [22]sold VistaSource to Parallax Capital Partners,
    LLC last March.
    
    One year ago ([23]June 15, 2000 LWN) SCO announced it would launch its
    own Linux distribution. LWN wrote:
    
      If you accept the idea that UnixWare shops are going to want to
      migrate toward Linux, the next question that comes to mind is
      "which distribution will they pick?"
      
    SCO's distribution was abruptly cancelled shortly thereafter, as the
    company made an announcement that answered the above question: its
    merger with Caldera.
    
    OpenSSH 2.1.1 was released.
    
    Exile III: Ruined World for Linux was released.
    
    Dave Winer says the Web is real, but open source is not in [24]The
    Sixth Sense.
    
      Thankfully the open source rage is on its last legs. If you're
      honest and made a bet on open source, and want to get help from the
      press and investors, here's some open source (free) advice. Play it
      down. "Oh that's an open source play" they will say, shaking their
      heads as they look for something else to hype. Like B2C and B2B,
      it's last year's trend. Avoid those trends like the plague.
      
    Maybe so, but those "last legs" are looking fairly strong...
