Linux 0.00 was the first version that simply went into protected mode, started two tasks, and switched between the two printing "AAAA" & "BBBB".

"it switched between two processes that printed AAAA...  and BBBB...
respectively by using the timer-interrupt - Gods I was proud over that"

Getting this to run

So far the only place I've found with a binary is over at oldlinux.org. I was able to convert the boot image into something that Qemu understands and was able to run. Otherwise, it ought to run with an older version of Bochs.
