На KernelTrap-е опять забавная заметка. На этот раз – статья о первой версии ядра Линукс. “Взгляд с высока” на то, с чего все начиналось. Что порадовало больше всего – фотография Линуса с бутылкой пива. Сдается, это был Туборг 🙂 Еще, оказывается, Линус назвал свое первое детище “Freax”. Первое сообщение об ОС Торвальдс отправил в группу comp.os.minix под заголовком “What would you like to see most in minix” и текст его был таким:
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 :-(.
Вот такой вот он.. Linus Benedict Torvalds
