let me remember. I used and teste all kernel from 1.3.20 till 2.0.0, and
so...
after 1.3.100 there was 1.99.1. It was released with this name.
I do not remember if i tested 14 kernels. They were released really fast,
one, sometimes two, every day.
My test server was a P75 with 16 ;byte of RAM and 1 GB of hard disk.
I had 50 users, and usually i had 4 users conneted interactivelly at the
same time, using three IBM black and white X-Terms, and the X11 session
(one stelath 64 video card, with 2 Mbyte RAM, on a 17 incs monitor,
with a resolution of 1280x1024 at 8 bpp :) ). All suers were using mozilla
or netscape, fvwm 1.4, and xosview :). Now you would need mutch more
memory to do the same with modern DE!.

2.0.0-pre1 was released two day before 2.0.0.
I had no time to test 2.0.0-pre2
Then Linus posted a mail saying (passim, I try to remeber more or less
the content).
"2.0.0 is out. what changed? ummm let me think. it's a lot of time I am
not using a 1.2 kernel [....] World domination last"
Italo, could you try to help me to remember? You were upgrading RS6000
from AIX 3.1 to AIX 3.2.5, I think.
2.0.21 has been out for maybe a couple of month before 2.0.22 have been
released. 2.0.21 was more that rock solid!
We bought at SNS 6 Pentoium Pro220 Mhz some days after 2.0.21 was
released, but they were putted into production
with 2.0.28 (a lot of time after, I know, but there was a problem with
adaptec 2940UW and some ext2 corruption)

there was I think at less a kernel, maybe two, after 0.0.1 and before
0.10, but I do not remeber. I started to use Linux seriously with 0.96 on
a 386 DX 33 Mhz with 4 mega of RAM (used to host a BBS for SNS students,
that was closed when CED Director discovered it)
