Star Dusting Off the 0.01 Linux Kernel
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 7th Jan 2008 19:20 UTC, submitted by mariuz
Linux Abdel Benamrouche announced that he has updated the original 0.01 Linux kernel to compile with GCC-4.x, allowing it to run on emulators such as QEMU and Bochs. After applying his series of small patches, Abdel explains that the 0.01 kernel can be built on a system running the 2.6 Linux kernel. He added that he's successfully ported bash-3.2, portions of coreutils-6.9, dietlibc-0.31 (instead of glibc), bin86-0.16.17, make-3.81, ncurses-2.0.7, and vim-7.1 all to run on his modified 0.01 kernel.

I agree, porting Vim is pointless when we have Emacs.

Not all people have 9^8402740 years to spend porting an OS to another OS. (???)
