I would like to second the idea that a news group, comp.os.minix, be set up for
discussion and bug reports for MINIX. If the book becomes as popular as his
others, much discussion might result. A group for discussion and bug reports
would be extremely useful, I think.

I am the "net connection" for three of us interested in MINIX (one works here but doesn't read news, the other is at a company too paranoid to connect to the net - but he has already ordered MINIX!). Because I don't care much for PCs and "mush-dos", I don't want to read comp.sys.ibm.pc to learn about MINIX. -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!bill "..When we look only for evidence of guilt and ignore all contradictory evidence, these are the elements of a witch hunt." -Paul and Shirley Eberle, _The Politics of Child Abuse_

I know that there are at least four people in my company who are really excited about MINIX and are going to buy a copy as soon as te books arrive. I can forsee comp.os.minix as being a very useful newsgroup.
