- Is the ST version of Minix limited the same way the PC version is? It's
- stuck with a max size of 64k for executables (bleh!)...
-
- Minix is a cool thing... You get a unix-like OS (pretty damn close!)
- with full source code and whatnot, for about $100 (if memory serves).
-
- [Not quite $0 like linux, doesn't have X, but runs on an 8Mhz 68000...]
