Linus Torvalds made the first Linux kernel release, 0.01, on September 17 to a group of friends. This release was never publicly announced. This was followed by a public release of the Linux kernel, 0.02, on October 5. In a post to the Linux-Kernel mailing list on 17th September 2021, Torvalds acknowledged this date as the "true 30th anniversary date of the actual code". Related information:
