Humble Beginnings
“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..”
Free Unix!
“Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete Unix-compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and give it away free(1) to everyone who can use it. Contributions of time, money, programs and equipment are greatly needed”.
The Open Compute Message
Hello everybody out there consuming hardware—
We are doing a (free) project that allows anyone to design hardware to support specific workloads. This won’t be gratuitously differentiated like the incumbents are selling. We’d like any feedback on things people like / dislike about what’s available to them today as our project resembles those offerings somewhat.....
