The 1992 comp os minix discussion I have referenced above included Andrew Tanenbaum David Megginson Ken Thompson Linus Torvalds David Miller et al See also the appendix to Open Sources Other important people to quote and reference would be Norman Hardy and Richard Stallman Of course I am talking about the monolithic kernels and microkernels design as I have stated above not about the usability or arrogance which is purely a matter of opinion 19 35 23 Nov 2004 UTC
