17th of september, the anniversary of Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939... Great ;) I would *love* it if this date was remembered for a Linux "birthday", but it won't... for a long time... not here. [yeah, this nation is crazy about this stuff... they *never* forgive]

Any way, happy birthday, Linux! :)

It's also the 220th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Constitution.

Oh, this one I didn't know ;) (a [much, much] more popular constitution-related anniversary in Poland is 3rd May - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_May_3,_1791)
