- 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 :-(.
- — Linus Torvalds
