[[Linux]] 0.11 included lots of exciting additions, including the ability to run GCC natively. GCC 1.40 was made available under the name of gcclib-1.40.taz . Linux 0.11 also started the hooks for the i387 math emulator, while the filesystem was still restricted to only [[Minix]] filesystems.

== Getting this to run ==

So far the only place I've found with a binary is over at [http://oldlinux.org/Linux.old/bochs-images/ oldlinux.org]. These images are meant to be run with an older version of [[Bochs]].

You can download a Qemu hard disk image [http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/4BSD%20under%20Windows/v0.4/Linux%200-11%20on%20qemu-12.5.i386.zip/download here]

		+	This is dated 12/9/1991
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	LINUX INFORMATION SHEET
		+
		+
		+	1. WHAT IS LINUX 0.11
		+	LINUX 0.11 is a freely distributable UNIX clone. It is almost
		+	fully System V compatible. LINUX has been written from scratch, and
		+	therefore does not contain any AT&T or MINIX code--not in the kernel,
		+	the compiler, the utilities, or the libraries. For this reason it can
		+	be made available with the complete source code via anonymous FTP.
		+	Sorrily, it runs only on 386/486 AT-bus-machines. EISA will probably do
		+	too, but you need an AT-Bus controller for your harddisk.
		+
		+
		+	Version 0.11 is still a beta release, but it provides almost full
		+	functionality. Various users have been able to compile bigger projects
		+	like bison/flex by only changing the makefile to their needs, and these
		+	tools are fully functional.
		+
		+
		+	2. LINUX features
		+	- System call compatible with V7 of the UNIX operating system
		+	- Full multiprogramming (multiple programs can run at once)
		+	- Memory paging with copy-on-write
		+	- Demand loading of executables
		+	- Page sharing of executables
		+	- ANSI compliant C compiler (gcc)
		+	- A complete set of compiler writing tools
		+	(bison as yacc-replacement, flex as lex replacement)
		+	- The gnu-born again shell (bash)
		+	- Micro emacs
		+	- most utilities you need for development
		+	(cat, cp, kermit, ls, make, etc.)
		+	- Over 200 library procedures (atoi, fork, malloc, read, stdio, etc.)
		+	- Currently 3 national keyboards: finnish/us/german
		+	- Full source code (in C) for the OS is freely distributable
		+	- Full source code of the tools can be gotten from many anonymous ftp sites
		+	(It's almost completel the GNU project)
		+	- Runs in protected mode on 386 and above
		+	- Support for extended memory up to 16M on 386 and above
		+	- RS-232 serial line support with terminal emulation, kermit, zmodem, etc.
		+	- Supports the real time clock
		+
		+
		+
		+	3. HARDWARE REQUIRED
		+	- A 386 or 486 machine that is an AT-bus-machine. EISA will probably do
		+	too.
		+	- An IDE hard disk is required to use this system.
		+	- Both 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes are supported
		+	- At least 2 megabytes of RAM is required for LINUX to be operational,
		+	but gcc will only work from 4 MB on.
		+	- Any video card will do
		+	- Up to two serial lines are supported
		+	- The real time clock is supported
		+
		+
		+	4. PARTIAL LIST OF UTILITIES INCLUDED IN OR AVAILABLE FOR LINUX 0.10
		+	- The MTOOLS package (reading/writing to DOS)
		+	- The complete GNU filetools (ls,cat,cp,mv,...)
		+	- The GNU C compiler with GNU assembler,linker,ar,...
		+	- bison
		+	- flex
		+	- rcs
		+	- pmake (BSD 4.2 make)
		+	- kermit
		+	- Micro emacs
		+	- less
		+	- mkfs
		+	- fsck
		+	- mount/umount
		+
		+
		+
		+	5. LINUX BINARIES
		+	The LINUX binaries (including all the tools) are available at three
		+	anonymous FTP sites. These are:
		+	nic.funet.fi:/pub/OS/Linux
		+	tsx-11.mit.edu
		+	tupac-amaru.informatik.rwth-aachen.de:/pub/msdos/replace
		+
		+
		+
		+	6. LEGAL STATUS OF LINUX
		+	Although LINUX is supplied with the complete source code, it is
		+	copyrighted software. But it is, opposite to MINIX available for free,
		+	provided you obey to the rules specified in the LINUX copyright.
		+
		+
		+
		+	7. NEWS ABOUT LINUX
		+	Since LINUX's introduction to the public there has been a rapidly
		+	growing mailing list, "linux-activists@joker.cs.hut.fi". To subscribe
		+	to this list, mail to "linux-activists-requests@joker.cs.hut.fi". If
		+	the traffic in this lists increases further, there are plans to swap
		+	(at least partially) over to comp.os.misc, so watch out for any LINUX
		+	articles in this group. If you simply want to know whats the current
		+	state of the art, do a "finger torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi", and you'll
		+	get some information.
		+
		+
		+
		+	8. FUTURE PLANS
		+	The major current project is bringing LINUX to a version number
		+	greater than 1.0. It has also to undergo some (minor) revisions to be
		+	compatible to the IEEE POSIX P1003.1 and P1003.2 standards. Various
		+	people are currently working on
		+	- math support/fp emulation in the kernel
		+	- Page swapping (since paging is alreay implemented)
		+	- A virtual filesystem layer
		+	- STREAMS
