Linux began its life in mid-1991, and reached 1.0 in 1994.
The current version of the Linux kernel is 2.6, which came to its first release in 2003, though the most up to date 2.6 kernels don't resemble the original 2.6 kernel much. To the point the first two version numbers are pretty meaningless. As for the rest... the third number increments and the kernel gets a feature release every 3 months, which will introduce some new features, change others, and remove some. The fourth number will release frequently, but with no set pattern aside from the patch being "ready." Patch releases are purely for bug fixes.
There are older versions of the kernel available effectively for long term support purposes. They are often considered very stable and will generally only be used on servers and distributions without a very rapid release schedule.
Current stable kernel version: 2.6.38.5.
