Imagine being the guy saying this to Linus Torvalds when he did the OG "Show HN":

  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. ...

  It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

  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).
