ComputerUser.com: Desktop Linux serves up big savings (Sep 21, 2001, 23:30)
"...the vast majority of desktop users perform basic functions
using general-purpose software. Keeping in mind the majority of

Linus Torvalds: linux-2.4.10-pre13 (Sep 21, 2001, 06:01)

again immediately. I'm trying to catch up with the mail flood, and
while you can _almost_ assume that if your patch isn't in pre13
it's gone (and should be re-sent), please wait with the re-send for
a few days."
