Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?<BR>
Summary: small poll for my new operating system<BR>

Hello everybody out there using minix-<BR>
<BR>
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big<BR>
and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has<BR>
been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like<BR>
any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix; as my OS<BR>
resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-sytem<BR>
due to practical reasons)among other things.<BR>
<BR>
I've currently ported bash (1.08) an gcc (1.40), and things seem to work.<BR>
This implies that i'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd<BR>
like to know what features most people want. Any suggestions are welcome,<BR>
but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)<BR>
<BR>
