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.
