Toto, I don't think we're talking white-socks-and-sandals any more. - Linus Torvalds

I'm a huge believer in evolution (not in the sense that "it happened" – anybody who doesn't believe that is either uninformed or crazy, but in the sense "the processes of evolution are really fundamental, and should probably be at least thought about in pretty much any context").

I know most of us are preparing for Christmas, but give it a whirl, ok? How important are those presents (and that family) anyway?

...today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement. Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.
