Hello,
I came to know about minix and its birth from a paper on
multi-tasking on Personal
Computers. Immediately I bought Dr. Tanenbaum's book :Operating Systems ...
Now I am convinced that it is superb tool for understanding OS principles.
Especiallly,
I am interested in using minix in our instruction at IIT Bombay, India. As I am
a visitor to
Carnegie-Mellon Univ., I would like to take along with me the minix sources.
Before ordering I would like to know the follwing :
1. Is the software avilable from Printice Hall the latest version of minix ?
If not where can I get the latest version with updates etc.,
2. Primarily, I would like to run minix on XT/AT Personal Computers. Is it
necessary
to order for both the versions ?
3. Has anybody attempted to network systems running minix ?
I would also like to subscribe to this group. Please add me to your list.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Murthy.
