I might be colored by the fact that I'm running Linux myself, but I'd say that those are almost certainly worth preserving somehow, somewhere. Linux and OS X are the Unix-like systems people are most likely to come in contact with these days, and preserving their history seems worthwhile. Linux' is probably easier than that of OS X at least outside of Apple. That said, at least the 0.99 series _does_ seem to be available on kernel.org: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/v0.99/ has what looks like every version from 0.99 proper to 0.99.15. I'm not finding 0.98 anywhere, though, nor anything like 1.0pl14 (but I do notice a patchset to 1.0pl15 in the kernel/v1.0 directory). There are also 0.0x and 0.1x versions there under kernel/Historic{,/old-versions}. So it's definitely a mixed bag. I would suggest contacting the kernel.org folks and ask if they are interested in receiving the versions you have. You just might have found a little historical treasure trove of early Linux development. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael at kjorling.se “People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don’t.” (Bjarne Stroustrup)
