Cu ocazia implinirii a 20 de ani de la prima lansare a kernelului Linux cei de la "The Linux Foundation" vor tine un eveniment cu prezentari si workshopuri. Desi e putin probabil ca cineva dintre noi sa se poata deplasa in San Francisco personal va invit sa va inscrieti pe webcast-ul live ce va fi disponibil.

La Multi Ani Linux!

Si ma gandeam ca ar fi frumos sa includ aici si acel mail deja celebru prin care a inceput totul:
From: torvalds@klaava.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system
Message-ID: <1991Aug25.205708.9541@klaava.Helsinki.FI>

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 :-(.
