Timeline of Linux Kernel releases

For the visually incline ones here is a timeline with all the Linux Kernel releases starting with 1.0 and ending with the freshly released 2.6.29. The gray are the development versions and the small ticks from 2.6 are the minor versions. The minor that sticks out in 2.6 is the ‘stable’ 2.6.16. Note also that the proportions between the left (stable releases) and right (development releases) axes is 1 to 3.

The data was collected from kernel.org, a truly awesome keeper. I had to manually adjust only two dates, the one for 2.1.25 and 2.1.26. The only missing things from the plot are the 2.2.0pre1 to 2.2.0pre9.

Happy viewing!

A very old memory.

“Maybe I should run too. I’ll just run like a lunatic… until the very end so I don’t have to think how small my life was. Was your life small? Did it matter to anyone else? Are you even asking yourself that?”

The beauty of real data.
