I have been studying Operating Systems internals for quite some years now. Linux posted a message on the minix newsgroup asking for testers for the kernel he wrote after messing with Andy's kernel for Minix. He then changed it to work for Intel's (as in that he was trying to support more and more of the architecture). And for your information I have both used Linux and since a month or 8 I have been hooked on FreeBSD (*BSD) for a few simple facts which are motivations for myself to have made the switch. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven join #FreeBSD on Undernet asmodai(at)wxs.nl This is my Truth, tell me your's...
