Couldnt find that quote on the 2001 version of the site.

Not sure if you are confusing that with the original Linux/Linus announcement post:

I searched archive a while ago and couldn't find it. It's probably referencing the announcement but I clearly remember a pull quote on the ELKS site, probably the same one quoted above.

I happened upon the site when first playing with a (z80) Gameboy compiler (probably SDCC) and wanting to port Linux to it.

I fully admit i could be imagining it.

Yes, I should have said 386.
