Linux: The 0.01 Release

07/27/2007  
Relevance: 5.79
"This is a free minix-like kernel for i386(+) based AT-machines," began the Linux version 0.01 release notes in September of 1991 for the first release of the Linux kernel."As the version number (0.01) suggests this is not a mature product. Currently only a subset of AT-hardware is supported (hard-disk, screen, keyboard and serial lines), and some of the system calls are not yet fully implemented (notably mount/umount aren't even implemented)."[Not"news" really. But fun for the nostalgia inclined :-)– Sander]

An improved sendfile facility for FreeBSD

09/21/2006  
Relevance: 5.56
The sendfile facility allows a regular file to be sent out to a stream socket. The system call was first implemented in FreeBSD 3.1. This provides many performance benefits for various server appliances. Andre Opperman has implemented an improved sendfile facility for FreeBSD that has so far shown 45% less CPU usage without TCP segmentation offload and 83% less CPU usage with TCP segmentation offload. This is a great improvement over the previous implementation.[O.k., so it's FreeBSD, not GNU/Linux - but few stories are cuter than"Penguin and the Beastie" - dcparris]
