Keywords: NEW MINIX QUESTIONS AMEOBA COMPATIBLE Message-ID: Date: 1 Aug 90 13:36:20 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 37 Hi, I'm new to Minix (Where have I heard that before). I have a few questions. I want to get involved with Minix after following the news group for the past year. So here goes the question list. 1) How do I get it? 2) What are the differences between 1.3 & 1.5? 3) What does running the 286 & 386 versions buy me? 4) What is Amoeba and how does it work? 5) Could someone mail me the last compatibility list? 6) What are the FTP & Mail archive sites for Minix? 7) Is AST's OS book current with the latest versions of Minix? (Does it matter?) I know these questions get tiring but I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanx. -- Scott R.
