15 years old? Linux Servers?

I'm all for some exaggeration here and there, but 15 year old linux servers? Your hurting your creditability. I think Linux came out in 94.

inch of dust? I'd believe that before a 15 year old linux box

According to Wikipedia:
"The first version of the Linux kernel (0.01) was released to the Internet on September 17, 1991, with the second version following shortly thereafter in October [2]."

It is possible if 15 years was an approximation, but highly unlikely.

September 17, 1991 is only 14 years ago.
