[dba-Tech] The history of Linux

Jim,

I found it fascinating even though my contact with Linux has only  been 
working with TiVo.  I, of course, didn't understand half of it but then I 
don't understand half the code I write either. I really didn't understand 
the difference between Linux (the kernel) and say Ubuntu, which is merely 
built on the Linux platform. Like they pointed out in the film I lumped the 
whole thing into Linux.


An interesting hour spent watching a film instead doing what I should have 
been doing, pouring concrete in my bathroom remodel project.


Thanks for sharing.


Bill
