I stumbled across this one about a week ago:

  strings /boot/kernel/kernel | head -1

and was wondering about the history of where it came from / what it means.

I can see it was added to Makefile.i386 in September 1998 but the commit 
comment mentions the defunct alpha port and searching SVN for things in 
the Attic is a PITA.

Also, according to 
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=1 FreeBSD is 20 
years old!

Is not a celebration / announcement warranted?
