The Average Life Span of a Penguin

Given that there are 18 species of penguins, their life expectancies vary from that of the Little penguin, the smallest penguin, which lives for around six years, to the larger King and Emperor penguins, that live for more than 20 years.

I discovered Linux while in college through 92 onwards, - a different world completely, but so many great memories. Elm, Pine, trn, ytalk, xtalk, tcsh. I think I spent an entire summer break buried in the computer science lab, and it was glorious…

Here’s to the next 30 years. I don’t think I’ll be around to see them, but I know we’re heading in the right direction! Enjoy the journey!

I’m probably a year or two your senior, but lord I remember the excitement of new releases of elm, pine, and first experiencing tcsh after years of csh on SunOS.
Good memories, I never left the computer lab :wink:

If you haven’t read “Just For Fun” - his biography, - it’s well worth an afternoon, - his humour comes out really well in it.
