In reply to withrow@vino.enet.dec.com rally cry, >Lets start parcelling out the work. Let's settle on a machine architecture >for the first version. Lets start writing code! I volenteer! What >about you! Come on, FSF, get us INVOLVED. WE WANT TO WRITE CODE!!! I would like to express my support for him and his supporters. I would like to get INVOLVED too and WRITE CODE!!! But having only a PC, how am I able to help in speeding up the kernel devlopment. I read of GNU in 1985 in Dr. Dobbs Journal and have not heard much since then. I have been patiently waiting for this 'kernel' which seems to be another 'vapour ware' IMHO. GNU's stuff have been ported to many machine, IRISs, SUNs etc... but officially a PC port did not catch on very well. But remember, not that many of us can afford to own a SUN or IRIS, even if we do, we might not be allowed to tear it apart to experiment with a new kernel. This leaves us with using a PC or some thing less expensive ( not forgetting AMIGA and ATARI ST etc...) I have trying to contact withrow@vino.enet.dec.com but to no avail, I keep getting the answer 'unknown host'. Maybe it is my system's fault. I sincerely would like to help in speeding up the RSN state of GNU's kernel. But how can I help as a PC owner?????? nicholas@woylie.cs.uwa.oz.au
