Those crusty old folk among us (myself included, born in that prehistoric era of the early &#8217;70s) know that it goes back a little further than that.<\/p>\n\t<p>Many of us become dewy-eyed about our memories of Linux when it first came out - or the first Red Hat release. In fact, many of the FOSS projects that we take for granted today are a heck of a lot of older than people realize.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t<p>And my final request:<\/p>\n\t<blockquote><p>To try and redress the balance I&#8217;m starting a FOSS anniversaries project.
