[Marco Bisetto]

Ecco un forward di un vecchio messaggio, che secondo il Bangalore
Linux User Group puo` essere considerato convenzionalmente la nascita
di Linux.

Subject: What would you like to see most in minix? 
Summary: small poll for my new operating system

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-sytem
due to practical reasons)among other things. 

I've currently ported bash (1.08) an 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 want. Any suggestions are welcome,
but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
