It's officially 20 years old.
From August 26th 1991:
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 portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

Ha! That webside "SEDS" I helped write that website and serve it in the mid 1990's! Hahahahahaha That's a real throwback. I'll send the link to the other guys who wrote and maintained that site. It was served off an old Sun Sparc Station 10. It had nearly 5 years of constant uptime. We hit the internet big time during the impact of the SL-9 Comet fragments on Jupiter in 1994.

High five, brotha! i remember the first X Windows environment back in the 90's. I ran it on top of Mandrake and did testing for 3dfx. Somehow I even ended up liasion for the first Linux user groups for 3dfx. It was so effing cool!
