I would also like to suggest that P-H is thwarting one of the basic
reasons why Andy wrote minix.  I thought it was so students of O/S's
could have a readily available and cheap O/S with source code to play
with and learn.

If P-H has customer service so bad that you can't even get the software,
then you can't play with it and learn about it either.  P-H should be
dumped in favour of some other distribution system.  Using P-H for their
supposedly good distribution is counter-productive.
