25 sierpnia minęła 10. rocznica wysłania przez Linusa krótkiego maila na grupę comp.os.minix. Na jego końcu widnieje informacja, że nie jest jeszcze przenośny i prawdopodobnie nigdy nie będzie wspierał nic innego niż dyski twarde AT. Jak widzimy, troszkę się pomylił. Treść historycznego maila znajdziecie poniżej, a zródła pierwszego kernela – na stronach kernel.org.

  From: torvalds@klaava.Helsinki.FI (Linus Benedict Torvalds)  Newsgroups: comp.os.minix  Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?  Summary: small poll for my new operating system  Message-ID: <1991Aug25.205708.9541@klaava.Helsinki.FI>  Date: 25 Aug 91 20:57:08 GMT  Organization: University of Helsinki    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 :-)  Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)  PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.  It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never  will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.
