让我们回到 1991 年 8 月，那个创造历史的时间。科技界经历过许多关键时刻，这些时刻仍在影响着我们。在那个 8 月，Tim Berners-Lee 宣布了一个名为<ruby> 万维网 <rt>  World Wide Web </rt></ruby>的有趣项目，并推出了第一个网站；超级任天堂在美国发布，为所有年龄段的孩子们开启了新的游戏篇章；在赫尔辛基大学，一位名叫 Linus Torvalds 的学生向同好们询问（1991 年 8 月 25 日）了他作为[业余爱好](http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1908.3/00457.html)开发的新免费操作系统的反馈。那时 Linux 内核诞生了。


如今，我们可以浏览超过 15 亿个网站，在我们的电视机上玩另外五种任天堂游戏机，并维护着六个长期 Linux 内核。以下是我们的一些作者对他们最喜欢的 Linux 内核版本所说的话。


“引入模块的那个版本（1.2 吧？）。这是 Linux 迈向成功的未来的重要一步。” - Milan Zamazal


“2.6.9，因为它是我 2006 年加入 Red Hat 时的版本（在 RHEL4 中）。但我也更钟爱 2.6.18（RHEL5）一点，因为它在大规模部署的、我们最大客户（Telco, FSI）的关键任务工作负载中使用。它还带来了我们最大的技术变革之一：虚拟化（Xen 然后是 KVM）。” - Herve Lemaitre


“4.10。（虽然我不知道如何衡量这一点）。” - Ivan Bazulic


“Fedora 30 附带的新内核修复了我的 Thinkpad Yoga 笔记本电脑的挂起问题；挂起功能现在可以完美运行。我是一个笨人，只是忍受这个问题而从未试着提交错误报告，所以我特别感谢这项工作，我知道一定会解决这个问题。” - MáirínDuffy


“2.6.16 版本将永远在我的心中占有特殊的位置。这是我负责将其转换为在 hertz neverlost gps 系统上运行的第一个内核。我负责这项为那个设备构建内核和根文件系统的工作，对我来说这真的是一个奇迹时刻。我们在初次发布后多次更新了内核，但我想我必须还是推选那个最初版本，不过，我对于它的热爱没有任何技术原因，这纯属感性选择 =）” - Michael McCune


“我最喜欢的 Linux 内核版本是 2.4.0 系列，它集成了对 USB、LVM 和 ext3 的支持。ext3 是第一个具有日志支持的主流 Linux 文件系统，其从 2.4.15 内核可用。我使用的第一个内核版本是 2.2.13。” - Sean Nelson


“也许是 2.2.14，因为它是在我安装的第一个 Linux 上运行的版本（Mandrake Linux 7.0，在 2000 IIRC）。它也是我第一个需要重新编译以让我的视频卡或我的调制解调器（记不清了）工作的版本。” - GermánPulido


“我认为最新的一个！但我有段时间使用实时内核扩展来进行音频制作。” - Mario Torre

Let's take a trip back to August 1991, when history was in the making. The tech world faced many pivotal moments that continue to impact us today. An intriguing project called the World Wide Web was announced by Tim Berners-Lee and the first website was launched. Super Nintendo was released in the United States and a new chapter of gaming began for kids of all ages. At the University of Helsinki, a student named Linus Torvalds asked his peers for feedback on a new free operating system he had been developing as a hobby. It was then that the Linux kernel was born.

Today, we can browse more than 1.5 billion websites, play with five additional Nintendo game consoles on our televisions, and maintain six longterm Linux kernels. Here's what some of our writers had to say about their favorite Linux kernel release.

"The one that introduced modules (was it 1.2?). It was a big step towards a successful Linux future." —Milan Zamazal

"2.6.9 as it was the version at the time when I joined Red Hat in 2006 (in RHEL4). But also a slightly bigger love for 2.6.18 (RHEL5) as it was the one which was deployed at massive scale / for mission critical workloads at all our largest customers (Telco, FSI). It also brought one of our biggest techno change with virtualization (Xen then KVM)." —Herve Lemaitre

"Kernel 4.10. (although I have no idea how to measure this)." —Ivan Bazulic

"The new kernel that shipped with Fedora 30 fixed a suspend issue with my Thinkpad Yoga laptop; suspend now works flawlessly. I'm a jerk and just lived with this and never filed a bug report, so I'm especially appreciative of the work I know must have gone into fixing this." —Máirín Duffy

"I will always have a special place in my heart for the 2.6.16 release. It was the first kernel that I was responsible for converting to run on the hertz neverlost gps system. I lead the effort to build the kernel and root filesystem for that device, it was truly a magical time for me. We updated the kernel several times after that initial release, but I think I'll have to go with the original version. Sadly, I don't really have any technical reasons for this love, it's purely sentimental =)" —Michael McCune

"My favorite Linux kernel release was the 2.4.0 series, it integrated support for USB, the LVM, and ext3. Ext3 being the first mainline Linux filesystem to have journaling support and available with the 2.4.15 kernel. My very first kernel release was 2.2.13." —Sean Nelson

"Maybe it's 2.2.14, because it's the version that ran on the first Linux I ever installed (Mandrake Linux 7.0, in 2000 IIRC). It was also the first version I ever had to recompile to get my video card, or my modem (can't recall) working." —Germán Pulido

"I think the latest one! But I had for a time used the realtime kernel extensions for audio production." —Mario Torre
