Let me second this. George and I have been hacking on it this weekend (George got an LED driver working, I fixed up part of the TTY code and SCSI code). _Very_ nice. For those of you that are skeptics - please go out and buy a copy. It does work, quite well! With this in mind, and the number of people working on the code, I've decided to set up YAML (Yet Another Mailing List). This mailing list will be a source-code only distribution of patches, new code, and the like. George has pointed out that the MINIX distribution clearly states that the code may be transfered among non-commercial interested parties; I think we fall into that catagory. I still believe that everyone should purchase a copy of MINIX, though. This mailing list will not be gated to usenet.
