Esta es la carta que envío Torvalds a la comunidad de minnix cuando tenia lista la primerisima versión de Linux:

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

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 .

Adam Doxtater de Mad Penguin, ha escrito una reseña muy completa sobre SUSE Linux enterprise desktop 10, la distro Linux de Novell.

En esta review podrán disfrutar tanto de screenshots como de screencast para ver a SUSE en acción, todo esto trabajando con GNOME.
