Goals:
- Comfort and agility at the command line
- Mastery of basic versioning workflow with git

And you'll gain a deeper understanding of what exactly git does when you use it.
Using only your browser, your text editor and your command line, you'll be able to
A bit of history and context
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 :-(.

Linux is now the largest software project that has ever existed in the history of computing,
Why?
This is where we will spend our time today
