This is an interesting discussion between linus and other programmers, referring to a "new OS" he was working on. Other people sounded interested.
One of the funniest quotes is probably this:
PS. To make things really clear - yes I can run gcc on it, and bash, and
most of the gnu utilities, but it's not very debugged, and the
library is really minimal.[B] It doesn't even support floppy-disks yet. It
won't be ready for distribution for a couple of months. Even then it
probably won't be able to do much more than minix, and much less in some
respects. It will be free though (probably under gnu-license or similar).
Suuuuuuure :)
If Linus had seen where his kernel would be 16 years on, what do you think he would be thinking?
On a related note, anyone else got any of these kinds of letters/discussions?
