Em presento, he escrit un msg referent a la presentació de l’Oriol
sobre el seu projecte, està + avall, ja li pegareu un vistassu. Em dic
miKeL, 20 anys, studio a lleida. Encara no sé ben bé que posar a
aquest forum (Oriol mha donat la dire…) així que millor rpesentar-m i
aportar una “curiositat” d’aquelles que de tant en tant va bé soltar.

Summary: small poll for my new operating system

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 🙁
