.I believe that Minix is not being distributed over the net this way, and you 
.can order the program at you nearest bookstore. It is being published by 
.Prentice Hall or one of the other big publishing companies. Patches and 
.programs for Minix; however, can be found on the net...

You can get the "patched" sources from various archive sites. I believe that
the Minix server has "upgraded" versions of Minix with patches ... but I could
be wrong.  I have to agree with Ron that to get the latest and greatest, you'll
have to purchase it from PH.
