   In reply to withrow@vino.enet.dec.com rally cry, 

   >Lets start parcelling out the work.  Let's settle on a machine architecture

   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??????

To help with the kernel right now you will have to put in 30 to 40
hours a week at the FSF offices in Cambridge, MA.  It's not work that
can easily be parceled out.

If you like a task you can do on your own, ask
	gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu 
for the current task list.
