10. The Future

Contents of this section

After Linux 1.0 has been released, work was done on several enhancements. Disk access speedups, TTY improvements, and many more things are now available in Linux 1.2.

Linux 1.2 has now been released, and many new enhancements, including virtual memory enhancements, multiple platform support, and quotas are being considered for the 1.3.x development series. Linux 1.0 was not the end of Linux, nor was it even very important; it is mostly intended to provide a stable version that people can use without being afraid that they are using beta software, and that can be standardized on to some extent. After one stable year of Linux 1.0, Linux 1.2 will now fill that same role

There is plenty of code left to write, and even more documentation. Please join the DOC channel of the mailing list if you would like to contribute to the documentation.
