Linux turns twenty-four years old today!

Just the usual reminder that it was twenty-four years ago today that Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux.

Those who haven't ready Torvalds' original announcement from 25 August 1991 can find the original message archived via Google Groups.

Happy Birthday Linux!
