Something like version 3.0, which puts > it in 1996? I started getting interested in Linux when my buddy Tabor was going on about how damn cool Debian 1.3.1 (bo) was. I started with hamm, which shipped with Linux 2.0.36 and remember the hype for 2.4 starting *right after* 2.2 came out. I think it was PC Magazine ran a cover article extolling the virtues and hyping 2.4 heavily before 2.3 opened up. I think this started the whole, "When's 2.4 gonna come out" bitching weeks after 2.2 came out. It got old. Bitching about when 2.2 was coming out was acceptable before it happened, mostly because when 2.2 was supposed to take over, 2.0.37 and then .38 came out. -- .''`.
