Hi!
I get confused by the versioning system of Linux. I would like to know why
the versions are so cryptic and not easy to remember and understand
like in the Redmond.
I guess the general rule is:
Software whose version has many
odd nos. ---> Bad ( o.k. not so good ;-)
even nos.---> Good
Am I right?
Also I've read that the first version of Linux kernel was 0.1
Why 0.1 ??? when it could have been 1 or 1.0 or whatever
Also I've seen that kernels have huge version nos. My kernel version
no. is 2.2.14-12
Does it provide any (useful) info ?
Please enlighten.
