The new method allows access using standard memory semantics instead of as a block device, drastically improving performance.

        Why does it look like a heatmap of someone stroking their giant dick?

        Ya, but those worked. Wasn’t it originally called Disk Doubler (think it might have changed names when MS purchased it).

        I remember finding a bug in it that took forever to figure out. You had to install windows 3.1 before enabling it or it would fail to read one of the floppies.

        Took me a LONG time to figure that one out…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
