- I'm somewhat bemused by the Minix vs. Linux et seq. threads,
- but there's something I'd like to (belatedly) say.
- To start with, there's still at least one person (me) for
- whom XT-compatibility is still an issue. I'm interested
- in the OS design issues, too. But the main reason I bought
- Minix was to specifically learn about Unix. That's one
- point I haven't seen anyone else make.
-
- Thanks, Andy.
