Apologies if this really doesn't belong here, but most articles in comp.os.minix are MS-DOS oriented. Just a question or six.... Minix seems to be a nice little package, and the cost is reasonable, but what nifty tools (those _NOT_ supplied with the Minix package, but written by Minix users) exist to make Minix something more than a learning tool? TCP/IP? UUCP? Csh? Hard disk support? How's the C compiler? What's meant by ``ethernet support'' (mentioned in the manual supplied with the MS-DOS demo package). Btw, is there a demo minix available via anonymous ftp for the amiga? Would some kind person out there familiar with Amiga-Minix let me know if it's worth the money and effort to go the minix route, or if I'm better off hanging with AmigaOS and SKsh or Csh5.0 (and waiting for C= to release SysVr4 for the 2000). Please reply via email. Thanks! --Brian ----- Brian Talley email: talley@arisia.xerox.com -or- bkt.wbst207v@xerox.com Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything Xerox says or does!
