Hi!

I'm thinking to buy minix and install it in a IBM XT machine.  
One thing that I'm really concern is about its performance in this
machine plataform.  I'm not expecting to convert my machine in the
ultimate somethix machine.  An adequate performance is all what I asked.
One friend of mine install PCVMS in his XT machine and our experience was not
a good one.  Extremely slow performance, lack of memory to run applications
and its crash prowness were the reasons why we decided to get rid of it.

Can somebody give me any feedback in this topic?

Have someone have though about using MINIX machines in packet radio networks?
