\nOrganization: University of Helsinki.<\/p>\nHello everybody out there using minix-<\/p>\n
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big
\nand professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has
\nbeen brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like
\nany feedback on things people like\/dislike in minix; as my OS
\nresembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-sytem
\ndue to practical reasons)among other things.<\/p>\nI’ve currently ported bash (1.08) an gcc (1.40), and things seem to work.
\nThis implies that i’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’d
\nlike to know what features most people want. Any suggestions are welcome,
\nbut I won’t promise I’ll implement them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nLinus Torvalds torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Da det netop var p\u00e5 denne dag at katten blev sluppet ud af s\u00e6kken, regnes 25 August for at v\u00e6re Linux f\u00f8dselsdag.<\/p>\n
I det n\u00e6ste indl\u00e6g lukker han s\u00e5 katten ud af d\u00f8ren og delvist lader dyret f\u00e5 sit eget liv. Dette viser sig hurtigt i l\u00f8bet af kort tid, at blive en afg\u00f8rende faktor for Linux videre liv.<\/p>\n

\nOrganization: University of Helsinki<\/p>\nDo you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote
\ntheir own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just dying
\nto cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? Are you
\nfinding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more all-
\nnighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be just
\nfor you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nAs I mentioned a month(?) ago, I’m working on a free version of a
\nminix-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the stage
\nwhere it’s even usable (though may not be depending on what you want),
\nand I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It is
\njust version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I’ve successfully
\nrun bash\/gcc\/gnu-make\/gnu-sed\/compress etc under it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nLinus Thorvalds havde selv navngivet det “Freax”. Da Ari Lemke skulle navngive det bibliotek, der skulle indholde Freax kildekode p\u00e5 nic.funet.fi, gav han det dog navnet “Linux” – det syntes han l\u00f8d bedre og det havde han ganske ret i.<\/p>\n
Her i 2014 er Linux det mest betydende styresystem p\u00e5 kloden, hverken mere eller mindre. St\u00f8rstedelen af verdens servere er Linux-baseret og dermed er det ligeledes Linux der holder Internettet i live. En meget stor del af verdens indlejrede enheder, s\u00e5som harddisk-optageren fra YouSee, st\u00f8rstedelen af verdens supercomputere og ikke mindst langt st\u00f8rstedelen af verdens smartphones er basalt set Linux drevne.<\/p>\n
Et stort tillykke til styresystemet der forandrede verden og bragte den fri kildekode ud til selv de mindste afkroge p\u00e5 denne klode og ikke mindst en stor tak til Linus Torvalds for at give kildekoden fri og dermed muligg\u00f8re den Open Source revolution vi har set de sidste par \u00e5rtier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
