Here is the original Linux announcement:<p><a href="http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/04/the-first-linux-announcement-from-linus-torvalds/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/04/the-first-linux-announc...</a><p>Here's a diff between the two: <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/6504013/" rel="nofollow">http://paste.ubuntu.com/6504013/</a>
Maybe was just deleted: <a href="https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng</a> gives me 404s now.
The repository was not created by Linus. It was a Github security exploit discovered by a friend of mine. Apparently he had contacted Github before exploiting but they didn't show any interest in fixing the issue. There should be a clarification from him soon.

Is this a new kernel, or a new OS (yes, I'm aware the original Linux announcement called it a 'new OS').<p>Most of the things I dislike about 'Linux' are OS-level inconsistencies, particularly that most user-land tools implement their own config file formats rather than using an existing one.<p>systemd is a notable exception, as it re-used the .desktop format for .service.
Oh no, another free software project on github without software license.<p>Good thing someone thought to fix it: <a href="https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng/pull/4" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/torvalds/linux-ng/pull/4</a>
I wonder if this has something to do with Linux 4.0.<p>Even though it seems like Torvalds is starting a new project, he might as well be just teasing and later pull in the Linux 3.13-14 tree.
This isn't the same guy that discovered the last Github issue and committed to Rails, is it? The similarities of how this is being handled by the discoverer are pretty eerie.
