This is an attempt to list Linux kernel releases in chronological order. Dates are taken from the file timestamps at http://www.kernel.org or from the timestamp on the top level directory that is extracted from each kernel archive. There may be some mistakes. That's life. Maybe this will be helpful to someone in spite of possible errors. Feel free to copy, distribute, and modify so long as this part is included somewhere. 2003-12-22 Terry Vessels TABs are used for the columns, 8 chars per tab.
