Hello everybody out there using minix

#1 Post by Klaava »

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 <img src="http://www.pl-forum.de/UltraBoard/Images/Happy.gif" border="0" align="middle">PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have <img src="http://www.pl-forum.de/UltraBoard/Images/Sad.gif" border="0" align="middle">.

Das scheint mir stark nach einem Posting in comp.os.minix vor einigen Jahren von einem gewissen L. Torvalds zu klingen.
Netter Scherz, was?
