Hello everybody out there using minix-<br>
<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>
