  • One for geeks :

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

    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, andI'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 :-(.

    I loled. Still not sure why I moved from Linux to Ubuntu

    Hahaha, I thought you were psychic?

    You mean Windows?

  • I left windows back when it was win2000. On to Linux. Then I went on to Ubuntu 8.

    But Ubuntu is Linux.

  • So why the different name?

  • Geek thread is over there > :P

  • So why the different name?

    Ubuntu (distribution) is Linux (OS family / Kernel) with particular applications, configuration and modifications that are maintained and supported by Canonical.

    Perhaps we should stop as this is going off the topic now ....

  • what

    the

    fuck

  • So why the different name?

    It's like that chinese carbon frame. Sometimes is no brand, sometimes De Rosa, sometimes Piranello.
