Trying to discover something more of the world of unix-clones, I have
discovered also Minix.

Somebody wrote me that Minix is a sort of 'didactic' version of unix which is
useful to get acquainted with this O.S.. Price would be $46 !!!

Could somebody make for me a brief summary of the history and of the
characteristics of Minix?
