The LWN.net 2004 Linux Timeline
Much happens in the Linux world over the course of a year. 2004 saw
ongoing legal and political fights, new distributions, big releases of
major applications, a new mode for kernel development, and more. This
timeline is our attempt to separate out the most significant developments
of the year and present them in a concise and enjoyable format. It
continues an annual LWN tradition; it is the seventh in the series.
This is version 0.9 of the 2004 timeline. If you find any remaining major omissions, please send them to us at timeline@lwn.net; please do not post errors or omissions as comments until after we have had a chance to address them. The development of the LWN.net Linux Timeline was supported by LWN subscribers; if you like what you see, please consider subscribing to LWN. As usual, the timeline is split up by month. We apologize that a "one big page" version is not available at this time.
The LWN.net Linux timelines from the last six years are still available: (Log in to post comments)
The LWN.net 2004 Linux Timeline Posted Dec 30, 2004 18:23 UTC (Thu) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] I still think the "obvious, predictable objection to the inclusion of this utility" line is the funniest thing I heard this year.

The LWN.net 2004 Linux Timeline Posted Jan 2, 2005 15:25 UTC (Sun) by vmole (guest, #111) [Link] The truly sad part is that I've been around Debian so long that I didn't realize he was making a joke...
The LWN.net 2004 Linux Timeline Posted Jan 6, 2005 12:02 UTC (Thu) by randy (subscriber, #1510) [Link] For kicks, everyone really needs to go back and read the previous year's versions. Especially the gloom and doom for Linux quotes from some of the industry "experts". I really like the one stating that Oracle would never support Linux. :) Look back and see how far we've come!
Great job, as usual, LWN!
Ubuntu on servers? Posted Jan 13, 2005 7:17 UTC (Thu) by emj (guest, #14307) [Link] Debian Stable I thought that was just servers, I don't see how they would be using Ubuntu.
