Linux @ 10 events. A number of Linux 10th birthday stories and scheduled events have been sent to us. Here is the latest summary of those stories and events.

• The BBC covers Linux's history... "Its emphasis on openness, collaborative development, stability and security have helped it grow in stature and stand in stark contrast to Microsoft's way of doing business."

• ...and shares some users stories. "As an IT manager I love Linux. It works, doesn't crash, runs on cheap hardware, is free and has lots of free application software."

• Reuters chimes in: "The software is called open source because its underlying code is freely available, unlike the closely guarded proprietary code of companies like Microsoft."

• The Linux Australia and regional LUGs 10th Anniversary of Linux installfest.

• ZDNet provides their look at the anniversary: Linux at 10: Where do we go from here?

• A 10th anniversary celebration in the Philippines.

• C|Net celebrates the time of the penguin. "Ten years later, Torvalds continues to release new versions of Linux every few weeks, but he was wrong when he predicted it would be just a hobby."

• Linux-Bangalore asks and answers, Why August 25th? Linux-Bangalore focused on the anniversary at their latest user group meeting.
