Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback
on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it
somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical
reasons) among other things).  I've currently ported bash(1.08) and
gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get
something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what
features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but
I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded
fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably
never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all
I have :-(.
