At risk of being a troll, when did Unix (PDP 11) not have all the the
above. Other than TCP/IP networking, I don't see any of above features
desirable, as I feel a need for more real time operating systems.
How many OS's are complete in design that you don't need to bypass
the OS like MS DOS.

What cpu?
Minix was 16 bit code only. I suspect 16 bit code here as well.
Remember 32 bit code is 2x the size of 16 bit stuff.
32-bit, I'm afraid. To quote:
WHAT IS LINUX?
Linux is a Unix clone for 386/486-based PCs written from scratch by
Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers
across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged
Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management and TCP/IP networking.
It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the
accompanying COPYING file for more details.
