- Hello Minix fans,
-
- I want to become a minix-fan too. So I start with buying the software. I read
- the Minix information sheet, and see how I can order MINIX 1.5. Then I read
- on.
-
- Frist of all there is talk about MINIX 2.0 comming out soon (1992?). Then I
- see in the list of archive sites the many patches for version 1.5.
-
- When I look at the newsgroup and see talk about version 1.6.24.
-
- Now I'm asking for advice because I'm confused: Should I buy version 1.5 and
- get hold of the patches to make it 1.6.24? Can I buy version 1.6.24 directly
- from Prentece Hall? Should I wait a month and start with version 2.0?
-
- Please help me. If the information is relevant, I want to run Minix on an
- AT-class PC (P3204 Philips 8 MHz + 20 Mb disk).
-
- Thanks!
-
- Henk.
-
- P.S. Best whishes for 1993!
