## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4472, "days_push": 2533, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A copy of the Linux 0.11 kernel source code, the earliest available Linux kernel version, annotated with comments largely drawn from Zhao Jiong's book on the 0.11 source. It is intended as a study aid for reading and understanding early Linux kernel internals.

## Use cases
- study the linux kernel source code
- learn how an early unix-like kernel works
- read annotated linux 0.11 source
- understand early memory management and kernel boot
- follow along with the linux kernel source commentary book

## When to choose
- you want to read a small, complete, historical kernel codebase
- you are learning operating system internals from source
- you are following Zhao Jiong's Linux 0.11 commentary book

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, maintained kernel or driver code
- you want networking support, which 0.11 lacks
- you need production-grade kernel code

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: operating-systems, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: c
- tags: linux-kernel, source-code-reading, annotated-source, operating-systems-study, historical-code, linux
