 This week in Linux history
 
    Five years ago: Linus Torvalds [15]released the 2.0 kernel on June 9,
    1996. This was the first (stable) release to support the Alpha
    processor and to support SMP systems, among many other things.
    
    The penguin logo was offically adopted at this time as well. After
    five years, it seems like Tux has been around forever.
    
    Three years ago ([16]June 11, 1998 LWN): yes, it's been three years
    since the infamous [17]John Dodge article, one of the classic examples
    of early-day ZDNet FUD:
    
      First, let me say that I am uniquely unqualified to write about
      this week's topic. Like most of you, I've never used Linux....
      
      Yes, the Linux camp, like a fat, speedy penguin, is making noise.
      However, some of the 25 letters I've gotten on Linux simply refer
      to it as a Windows alternative, not something they worship or even
      use.... Linux has a snowball's chance in hell of making perceptible
      inroads against Windows. And Torvalds left UHel last year for the
      commercial world.
      
    "Uniquely unqualified" indeed.
    
    Adaptec finally saw the light, and started providing programming
    information for its controllers to the Linux community.
    
    The long-awaited [18]GIMP 1.0 release happened, finally. GNOME 0.2 was
    also [19]released.
    
    Two years ago: ([20]June 10, 1999 LWN): Red Hat filed for its initial
    public offering of stock - the first of (shorter than expected) series
    of Linux IPOs. [21]LWN's analysis of the IPO filing is still
    available; it is interesting to see how things have changed. Somehow
    "my.redhat.com" never did seem like a winner...
    
      But the mere fact that there is now an official SEC document that
      includes the text of the GPL serves as fairly astonishing proof
      that the rules of the software business really are being rewritten.
      -- [22]Andrew Leonard, Salon.
      
    [Debian Logo] The Debian Project chose its new logo, after a long
    process involving a great many proposals. Debian also officially
    adopted the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
    
    One year ago ([23]June 8, 2000 LWN): Richard Stallman [24]went on the
    attack against Open Motif and its not-really-free license.
    
      Their announcement says they have released Motif to "the open
      source community", but this is true only in an unnatural
      interpretation of the words. They have not made Motif available
      within the free software community; instead, they have invited the
      people in the free software community to leave the community by
      using Motif.
      
    One year later, the non-free license remains.
    
    Plan 9, meanwhile, was released under [25]a not-quite-free license.
    
    Linux-Mandrake 7.1 was [26]released.
    
    Turbolinux had its first big round of layoffs, at the same time that
    it was paying founders Cliff and Iris Miller over $8 million to leave
    the company.
    
    Remember how people were talking about Eazel a year ago?
    
      When is a startup more than a startup? When that startup is kissed
      with the golden glow of success long before it retains a public
      relations firm or the first PowerPoint presentation is drafted.
      What does such a firm look like? It might have $13 million in
      startup funding based on a handful of phone calls. It might have
      some of the most talented programmers the world has produced to
      date. It might have the kind of seasoned management, with a little
      gray at the temples, that makes venture capitalists nod sagely and
      move along to the next and more troublesome funding project.
      
    Things sure did look different back then...
    
    Ah yes, it has now been one year since the antitrust judgement against
    Microsoft. Not much has changed on that front either....
