Eh, it's more like the pregnancy announcement. Imo the v0.01 release on Sep 17th is a "Birthday".

But then again I'm biased on this. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yeah defining an announcement of something as its birthday is weird. Iโ€™m also biased on this, cause it came out on my birthday.

You too!? Ha! Today I learned.

I'll always know exactly how old Linux is. It's exactly as old as I am.
