If they only had a live CD version, I'd noodle around with it.

From the website:

Since the MINIX 3 CD-ROM image is quite large, we recommend your getting the bz2 version to speed up your download and to lighten the load on our servers.

10-13 MB is "quite large?"

Is this a verified legal copy of Unix, or is it still possibly illegal? With these clones born overseas you constantly have to wonder.

I'm still not sold on the whole micro-kernel approach to things.

However, it *does* give me something to play with before I leave for the office.

Wait...Where's vim???

I suppose I can try my hand at porting some stuff to it this weekend after I work on my Volvo. :)
