• 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 :-)
