[comp.os.minix] minix development

I'd like to use minix for my operating systems course this semester. My
original plan was to get the sources to the compiler and get it running
on our Suns so that the students could do their work and compiling on a
machine a little faster than a PC. Then they'd only need to do kernel
boots on the PC. Well, it turns out that a site license for the sources
to the compiler goes for about $3k which is far more than our poor little
budget can handle. I'd really prefer not to force the students to work
on a PC class machine, though. Does anyone have any recommendations?
