Trying to discover something more of the world of unix-clones, I have discovered also Minix. Somebody wrote me that Minix is a sort of 'didactic' version of unix which is useful to get acquainted with this O.S.. Price would be $46 !!! Could somebody make for me a brief summary of the history and of the characteristics of Minix? Thanks: Aldo.

MINIX is an operating system developed by Andrew Tanenbaum. See his book Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Prentice-Hall QA76.76.063T36 1986 I found the book to be very readable. Ross smith1@uicbert.eecs.uic.edu
