Happy Thanksgiving!

Fun bit of Linux history: On Thanksgiving Day 2011, Linus Torvalds released Linux 3.2-rc3 kernel with this delicious recipe: "One quarter arch updates, two quarters drivers, and one quarter random changes. Shake vigorously and serve cold.."

He even joked about the timing, saying "And maybe the rest of the world can try to make up for the lack of any expected US participation? Hmm?" while Americans were in their food-induced turkey comas.

November has been a significant month in Linux history. Linux 0.10 was released in November 1991 - one of the very early versions that people were actually starting to use. Linux 0.11 followed in December 1991, which was a major milestone because it was the first version where Linus started developing Linux under Linux itself (after he accidentally trashed his Minix partition). And going back even further, the very first edition of Unix was released on November 3, 1971.

I'm thankful for this incredible Linux.org community - over 360,000 of you visit every month to learn, share knowledge, and help each other solve problems. Thankful for all the open source developers who've dedicated countless hours to making Linux what it is today. And thankful for the spirit of collaboration and free software that brings us all together.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our US readers, and to everyone around the world - thank you for being part of this community!

Admittedly, the image above was "chicken skewers" with baby potatoes and pineapple chunks.. a video I did for my Rob's Backyard BBQ channel. But, it looks like Thanksgiving!

The video:

I just watched that video..... and then headed out to the kitchen to find something to eat ! Yum ! One day I'll buy myself a BBQ similar to the one used there.

I have a big kettle grill very similar to the one you use in the video.

I also use a can in the center for my charcoal or lump charcoal.

I grill a lot of chicken breasts and hamburgers and potatoes and vegetables.

Nothing fancy just marinate the chicken breasts in a marinate overnight shake on occasion.

I grill the potatoes and vegetables on the grill they are rolled around some olive oil and garlic and pepper.

Makes for some good eating and like you I have no problem using my fingers to eat with.

Cool video Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice! Love my kettle - I use it quite a bit.

I thought about getting one of the ceramic eggs but they weigh a ton and I'm old and they cost a hell of a lot of money imo.

I know folks who have them and swear by them and they do cook good.

Yeah I like my kettle also.

Look into the char-griller brand kamados. They have an 'auto' one (digital temp control) and an original. half (or less) the price of the green-brand and super fun to use.

Thanks @Rob I'll give that a look at.

Time to go to the family feast.

The kids are finally doing what us old folks used to do and that is hosting the meal as we are just to old to do it these days.

Enjoy your holidays.
