Can someone explain to me the basics behind working with minix.  I found out
from Prentice Hall that the version they are selling is 1.3.  I have noticed
references to 1.4 and 1.5 in this newsgroup.  What are these versions and
how come PH isn't selling the latest version?
I just started reading this newsgroup, in an effort to find out how to run
minix.  I bought the book when it first came out and now thinking about
getting the software.  Is there an archive site for previously posted code and
information to comp.os.minix?

Thanks for the info.
