See the Coverage section of this discussion page for more information.
 * Add a list of participants.
 * State that the debate by some has been regarded as, to some degree, a flamewar.
 * State Tanenbaum's goals with his Minix; such as portability, to be a pedagogical teaching aid, and the possibility for students to run it on cheap hardware.
 * State Torvalds' (initial) goals and motives with Linux; just for fun, to get a useable OS for his 386 (and to learn more about it), to be able to use GNU software...
 * State the great hopes for the GNU project's HURD kernel many of the participants seem to (have) hold, and other things the participants have believed the future would hold, such as the wrongful prediction of the x86's downfall.
