I'm interested in buying minix this summer but I have a few questions:

    - How well does it work in about 10MB of disk space?
    - Can you read ST disks?
    - How well does it interface with a modem, printer and mouse?
    - How much modification do Unix sources need to compile with gcc under
      Minix?
    - What kind of shell(s) can you use?
    - How well does the remote logon operate off the rs232 port?
    - How happy are you with the package?
    - How much does it cost?
    - Where can I get it?

Thank you for any information.

Craig
