Linux Kernel 0.1

Was having a quick look at the source code (in C) for the first linux kernel, written by Linus Torvalds (yes, I am a geek) and I have to say, the guy has a wicked sense of humor. His commenting is ace. Heres an example:

mktime.c

/*
* PS. I hate whoever though up the year 1970 - couldn't they have gotten
* a leap-year instead? I also hate Gregorius, pope or no. I'm grumpy.
*/

There are loads more, but there’s also a lot of code. It’s very interesting surprisingly. linux-0.01.tar.gz
