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, andI'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 :-(.
begitu juga dengan komentar dari bapak "minix" Prof.A Tanembaum
" I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design :-)"
(Andrew Tanenbaum to Linus Torvalds)
Hell care , linux sekarang sudah bukan "hacker toys" lagi tapi sudah menjadi salah satu Operating System yang diperhitungkan !
semua berawal dari "ketidakmungkinan" dan "pertentangan" tetapi berakhir dengan "kesuksesan", prosesnya yang akan menentukan !
/me jadi inget waktu bermimpi membuat echo.or.id , "ketidakmungkinan, pertentangan" mudah mudahan berakhir dengan kesuksesan , amin *_^
