Subject: Minix vs. ELKS
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 14:03:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <017b01c22e53$1e4b74a0$162fa8c0@2fkft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Pine.LNX.4.21.0207170723060.4272-100000@Consulate.UFP.CX

Hello all,

I would like to ask for your opinion:

When will ELKS become an alternative for Minix, considering practical usability
for an end-user, who does a moderate amount of programming work (mostly
customizing the OS for his/her personal needs and writing small utils)? The
hardware is 80186 with PCMCIA slot, fastest and reliable serial port
functionality is important.

-Will ELKS have a GUI? I heard Minix had some very basic X, about the time of
Minix version 1.5
-Will ELKS have LIM-EMS support? Someone started a work on EMS for Minix, but it
was never finished.
-Is there ELKS equivalent to Minix's DosRead/DosWrite/DosDir functionality to
access M$ FAT filesystem?

Thanks in advance, Sincerely: Tamas Feher.
