Excerpts

IF 1998 AND 1999 WERE THE WORST YEARS in Microsoft's history, 1991, by contrast, must have been a period when Bill Gates was feeling good.
added anonymously.
"In 1995, Gaël Duval, a 22-year old Frenchman from Caen, Normandy, who was studying computer science, was looking for a Unix to put on his 386 PC - a familiar enough story. (...) Following the numbering of the Red Hat version it was based on, Duval called his distribution Linux-Mandrake 5.1. In July 1998, Duval placed this on an FTP server for others to download, as Linus has done with his original Linux code. Just as Linus had been encouraged by the feedback he received to his early kernel, so Duvalwas spurred on by the response to his home-brew distribution. It was 'incredible' he says'"
Page 308, 309, added by Peter Hollow.

Pages 308 to 310 are focusing on Mandrake-Linux and Mandrakesoft, which has been a fascinating story of Linux and Open Source pioneering.
