On August 25, 1991, Torvalds announced the project on the comp.os.minix Usenet newsgroup, stating: "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my target brain is a 386/486 AT clone." The post sought input from Minix users on desired improvements, emphasizing its non-commercial intent and compatibility with GNU tools.
