Hoy se cumplen ya diez años y Linux sigue aquí cada vez con más fuerza. Felicidades a “papá” Linus y que sea por muchos años más. 🙂

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 🙂

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 🙁

¿Hasta dónde llegará? quien sabe. Pero de lo que podemos estar seguros es que la revolución que ha supuesto GNU, Linux y el software libre en general ya es imparable y las cosas ya nunca serán como antes.

Enhorabuena a todos los hackers del núcleo por un magnífico trabajo. ¡Seguid así chicos!

PCierto..¿Quien lo iba a decir, verdad Sr. Tanembaum?
Lo siento, pero no he podido contenerme… 😉
