The Linux kernel source code has grown by more than 50-percent in size over the past 39 months, and will cross a total of 15 million lines with the upcoming version 3.3 release. According to a post by The H, about three quarters of the Linux kernel code are drivers, file systems and architecture-specific code, while there are plenty of comments and blank lines as well. The first release of Linux had just 10,000 lines of code, while version 1.0.0 had grown to 176,250 lines by March 1994.
