Just as an aside, Minix is now up to version 2.0 with a new book to be released, it is microkernel (supposidly the kernel type of the future), it's installation is a snap, and it can be understood completely in a few months of study (not counting the 4-8 years of programing and OS theory ;) ) - oh yes - it will run on a 20 meg partition (tiny - very tiny). Unfortunately you can't use it for net access unless you have a dedicated access (no dialup). No - I don't use it regualarly (it's tucked on a small partition along with Linux on an old laptop I keep (120meg HD & 8 megs of ram) around for net access when my bigger machines do a swan dive into /dev/null ;). Just wanted to keep the records straight. Keith On Sat, 19 Oct 1996 hoek@freenet.hamilton.on.ca wrote: > NetBSD : http://www.netbsd.org > OpenBSD : http://www.openbsd.org > Minix : ???
