Hi there!  I have a few dumb questions about Minix for the IBM:

-- The Minix information sheet mentions that the IBM Minix supports
   up to three simultaneous users.  Is there any way to add two more,
   on COM3 and COM4?

-- The information sheet also makes no mention of VGA.  Will I be able
   to use Minix with a VGA card?

-- How difficult is it to get UUCP and News running under Minix?

-- The machine I'm considering is a Gateway 2000 386/25 with an IDE
   drive.  I would love to hear from anyone who has used Minix on such
   a machine.

Thank you very much.
