13. Hello everybody out there using minix -

15. I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and

16. professional like gnu)for386(486) AT clones.This has been brewing

17. since april,andis starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on

18. things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat

19. (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)

20. among other things).

22. I've currently ported bash(1.08)and gcc(1.40),and things seem to work.

23. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and

24. I'd like to know what features most people would want.Any suggestions

25. are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

29. PS.Yes- it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.

30. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never

31. will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

在该年的九月， Linux Kernel 0.01 发布到了芬兰大学和研究网（FUNET） 上的一个 FTP 服务器（ftp.funet.fi）。当时仅有 10239 行代码。到了十月，又发布了 0.02。
