You fill a much-needed gap.
     paxil cheap online Brief History Of Linux (#20)
     Linux is born

Linus' superhuman programming talent produced, within a year, a full
     operating system that rivaled Minix. The first official announcement on
     comp.os.minix came October 5th, in which Linus wrote these famous words:

Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote
      their own device drivers? Do you want to cut your teeth on an operating
      system that will achieve world domination within 15 years? Want to get
      rich quick by the end of the century by taking money from hordes of
      venture capitalists and clueless Wall Street suits? Need to get even
      with Bill Gates but don't know what to do except throw cream pies at
      him? Then this post might just be for you :-)

Linux (which was known as "Lindows", "Freax", and "Billsux" for short
     periods in 1991) hit the bigtime on January 5, 1992 (exactly one year
     after Linus wasn't hit by a bus) when version 0.12 was released under the
     GNU GPL. Linus called his creation a "better Minix than Minix"; the famous
     Linus vs. Tanenbaum flamewar erupted soon thereafter on January 29th and
     injured several Usenet bystanders.
