Alors que hier nous pouvions célébrer les 10 ans du lancement en grandes pompes de Microsoft Windows 95, nous pouvons fêter aujourd'hui même les 14 ans de l'annonce "officielle" du développement de la première version de Linux.
Voici un copier/coller de l'annonce qui a été faite sur les newsgroup de minix le 25/08/1991, on remarquera une phrase qui peut maintenant faire sourire :
Happy birthday Mr. Linux

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 .
