Message-ID: <20514@adm.BRL.MIL> Date: 4 Aug 89 22:33:18 GMT Sender: news@adm.BRL.MIL Lines: 11 I think the more immediate question is *what* would you like the GNU OS to run on? Ultimately, everything, but we've got to pick a platform and start hacking soon, or all we'll have is a bunch of utilitys. Sun's would be an obvious choice, but what about the MMU? Does anyone without proprietary knowledge know what it does? Can we just poke numbers at it and see what happens? Root Boy Jim Have GNU, Will Travel.
