Missatge: font a qui li sona? From: Linus Benedict Torvalds - view profile Date: Sun, Aug 25 1991 9:57 pm Email: torva.. Josefina.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds) Groups: comp.os.minix 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 :-) Linus (torva.. Josefina.helsinki.fi) 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 de regal, el primer ftp

Resposta: Irònicament, en Torvalds no és precisament gaire afí a la filosofia que envolta al programari lliure. De fet ell és dels que parlen de "open source" per evitar parlar de llibertat, només li interessa la vessant pràctica, etc. La filosofia del programari lliure es va gestar molt abans, amb el projecte GNU.
