[Gulli] Un messaggio che 20 anni fà cambiò il mondo

[Sandro Fabbro]

Ciao ML,

Con questo messaggio uno studente di nome Linus Torvalds ha dato secondo me
vita a qualcosa davvero grande e per questo voglio ricondividerlo con voi.

Io ero troppo piccolo ma è grazie a persone come lui che oggi possiamo avere
una scelta alternativa liberamente personalizzabile,gratuita e che gira su
qualsiasi hardware.

GRAZIE

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 :-)

                Linus

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 :-(.
