Happy Birthday Linux&Unix!

[lwbskfish]

Linux内核的开发始于1991年8月。这里有一份Linus Torvalds当时在Usenet新闻组comp.os.minix所登载的帖子，这份著名的帖子标志着Linux计划的正式开始。

现在Linux 18岁了，走向成年

祝愿Linux的发展越来越好！！

另外，Unix始于1969年8月，至今恰好40周年。不过Unix的具体生日我无法考证。。。

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 .
