[gentoo-user] [OT] FOSS history books

[Claudio Roberto França Pereira]

I've ordered Rebel Code: Linux And The Open Source Revolution, from
Glyn Moody, but I just realized it's pretty old, from January 2001, 11
years ago.
Of course I'll love reading it, but I'd like to complete this "study"
with the 2000 developments of FOSS. Linux 2.6, HAL life-cycle, GCC
evolution, Ubuntu creation, Mozilla history, Google rising like a
rocket. Anyone know a good recommendation in this subject?

It's possible someone still needs to write one.

Thank you, I'll make sure to take note on these and look up after Rebel Code.
