<h2>MINIX</h2>
|
|
|
|
This directory and subdirectories contain <b>MINIX</b>, a small UNIX-like
|
|
system for IBM PC's and compatibles. The prime objective of Minix is
|
|
education. Major parts of it can be studied and understood by one person in
|
|
a limited amount of time. Minix is a redesign, using a modern
|
|
microkernelish setup.
|
|
Read the <a href="http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/minix.html">Minix Info Sheet</a>
|
|
(http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/minix.html) for more information. Read it first
|
|
if you have a Web browser.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Minix is free for educational use only, read the Minix license-to-use
|
|

Our FTP server allows you to transfer entire directory trees in a single
|
|
command if you reference the directory with <b>.tar</b> attached to its name.
|
|
So you could get <a href="ftp://ftp.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/2.0.0.tar">2.0.0.tar</a> in one blow if you want to, but note that you
|
|
probably do not want everything in a given directory. Inspect the contents
|
|
of a directory first.
