I am taking an Operating Systems course and the majority of
the labs will be done in the Minix operating system. It be
basically be doing simple or not so simple mods to the Minix
kernal. I undstand that Minix has(might have been?) ported to
machines other than PCs. Here at school we have several Tandy
PCs for the labs. I would like to do the labs on my Amiga
2000 at home and not mess with the PC world (as I do not own
one or intend to in the next five years).
What is the feasiblity of porting Minix to the Amiga? Has
someone already done this? No, I do not want to permanently
replace AmigaDOS/Exec. I happen to like Exec at least and
AmigaDOS is slowly improving(still needs a lot of work!). I
think that one might be able to run Minix with Exec. I don't
think that running AmigaDOS and Minix is possible.
Is anyone working on an Amiga version of Minix?? If anyone
knows of such, please send me mail.
Thanks,
Ray.
