You can’t accuse Linux creator Linus Torvalds of not being nostalgic, even when it comes to rival operating system releases.
This past week Torvalds released the fifth release candidate for Linux 3.11, which has been known somewhat sarcastically as Linux for Workgroups. The Windows 3.11 Release 20 years ago was known at Windows for Workgroups, so that’s the connection there. Windows 3.11 was released on August 11, 1993.
