These article ought to get interesting once they start reviewing kernels for which actual source code is available... Sat, 04 Aug 2007 01:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Almafeta) Comments ;) http://osnews.com/thread?260789 http://osnews.com/thread?260789 its an interesting article.

i have a file named linux-0.01.tgz (or linux-0.0.1) on one of my CD collections and the size of mere 79.1k. i have checked the contents and it seems its a kernel source of some kind. i wonder if there's anyone in interest ;) Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320) Sat, 04 Aug 2007 05:39:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (t3RRa) Comments RE: ;) http://osnews.com/thread?260792 http://osnews.com/thread?260792 AFAIK, they have already linux-0.01, but they were looking for 0.02 and 0.03 (even the announcement of 0.03 was lost), check the thread: it started when someone decided to do a git archive of the early Linux versions, he said the version he was looking for, so you may help.

i didnt look at kernel.org and i thought they somehow deleted or lost old versions or something . kind of my imagination. thought thought if theylost 0.0.2 & 0.0.3, they may not haven't 0.0.1 as well. i thought i got 0.0.1 from somewhere else but after read ur repy and looked at kernel.org archive i must got them all from kernel.org. my memory wasn't good. it was actually a few years ago anyway. i feel shameful to post previous one without check. ;) Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320) Sat, 04 Aug 2007 09:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (t3RRa) Comments RE: Wait for Hurd if you want something real... http://osnews.com/thread?260839 http://osnews.com/thread?260839 """

I really wish that the Linux kernel team would take a week off to finish the Hurd for them. Seventeen years is long enough for any project to flounder aimlessly about.

Apparently I must be wrong...

what a shame 0.01 and the other first few versions are lost...

Code Name linux is quite good by the way, far from perfect, but good.

Your illogical and irrational fear (a part of your political agenda to abolish fundamental human rights) makes you look stupid.

That said, you ought to take a look at the sources for Haiku. It's a MIT-licensed kernel (NewOS-based). Ought to contain quite a bit for you.

EDIT: Doooh. I forgot to mention the Spoon microkernel. How dare I, How dare I!?! ;) Edited 2007-08-04 20:51 Sat, 04 Aug 2007 20:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (dylansmrjones) Comments RE[2]: Retrolinux http://osnews.com/thread?260890 http://osnews.com/thread?260890 Where in the OP post you see comments about he being in fear of looking at GPL code? Couldn't he just wanted to explain how old were the sources was he studying, maybe because they were actually simpler?

Your unfounded assumptions make you look very stupid. Sat, 04 Aug 2007 21:49:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (devurandom) Comments RE[2]: Retrolinux http://osnews.com/thread?260905 http://osnews.com/thread?260905

Whoa, I didn't know I had one.

If I have such a political agenda, shouldn't I at least get a small white persian cat and an army of underlings?

I don't think that there is *any* other software development project in the same class as the Hurd.
