This is how #Linux got started, and this was the first email posted. It is a good reminder that some of the greatest kernels started with humble beginnings. Thank you Linus!

What would you like to see most in minix? - comp.os.minix | Google Groups. 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

@nixCraft It is now the most successful software ever. More humans have contributed to the #Linux kernel than any other software

#OpenSource

@Nicholasr_ITSulu @nixCraft nodds in agreement and since there are so many stakeholders with opposing interests and a #copyleft license, #GAFAMs can't #enshittify or #tivolize it!
