am an amiga user and have been waiting for minix to come out for a LONG time. Ok its here. what now. I am surpried to see very little talk about it in this news group. Whats wrong? Are people to involved to bother reading this group? My main reason for posting is to find out if a HD driver is around for it yet! If so I would partition my drive for it stright away. What other Amiga minix spesific stuff is out there if any? Hunter -- James Gardiner. System Admin, Public Access UNIX Melbourne, Australia DON'T TRUST THE MAIL HEADER!

No, we already have a multitasking OS, remember? :-) Personally, I'd like to get MINIX, but there's little support for those of us with a *real* architecture (ie: non 80x6 based). It seems that MINIX has been developed more for hardware which has no real multitasking system available. :-) (well, there *is* microport's 286 unix, but it's a real dog.) If I did not already have a multitasking OS, I'd probably be all over MINIX. I'm still considering it, just so I can have the source for an OS to play with. (Which I never got with OS-9, sniff.) -- J.
