There is a compilable 0.01 version of linux out there.  Don't take the actual source.  You need a custom 0.01 kernel to work with the modern compiler tools out there.

If you do make a version, you might try creating a VMWare VM and putting it online.

This might be it.

 but ... why?  i can appreciate the historical entertainment value to
some extent, but nobody's going to hire you based on your familiarity
with the 0.01 version of the linux kernel.

 surely there are more interesting and potentially profitable ways to
spend your time that employers would care about.
