Congratulations are due to Alan Cox, who was awarded
an honorary degree by Swansea University for his work with Linux.
“Alan started working on Version 0. There were bugs and problems he
could correct. He put Linux on a machine in the Swansea University computer
network, which revealed many problems in networking which he sorted out;
later he rewrote the networking software. Alan brought to Linux software
engineering discipline: Linux software releases that were tested, corrected
and above all stable. On graduating, Alan worked at Swansea University, set
up the UK Linux server and distributed thousands of systems.”
