Dude. We go all the way back to 0.01 :-)
You will find much stuff of interest in here:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/
The best bits by far are:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.01
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.12
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.95
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.95a
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.97
There are tarballs of the source all the way back :)
This gives the date of 0.95a:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
Crossposted-To: alt.os.linux
Subject: Second 0.95a alpha-patch, part 1/2
Date: 4 Apr 92 14:42:10 GMT
This is the promised patch to 0.95a, which hopefully corrects some of
the problems encountered. This is /not/ an offical new release: it's
just a set of patches to get the same kernel I am currently running.
