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