| 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 :-(.
