Right now, I'm in the process of downloading Linux 2.0 and all of its supporting files. I would like to congratulate Linus and all the developers for the great job that they (you?) put into the kernel! Ever since the fall of 1993, when I first enrolled in UCLA, I wanted an operating system that was much better than the AIX/ESA that they slapped on the engineering computers. When I first heard about Linux, I was delighted to see a team put together a free Unix flavor that actually runs GCC and Sun's OpenWindows (unlike those ES/9000s). The minute I first booted a Slackware 1.1.1 installation disk, I stared with amazement. I was running free UNIX! I didn't get any further until I bought my own computer last Fall. Up to this day, I'm loving every bit of this OS, which I've heard is even better than SunOS 4! As an aside, I'm interested in participating in 2.1 development. Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks again!
