re amiga minix:

 unless you have a sizeable amount of ram(say at least 2mb) compiling anything
 of a reasonable size is pretty unlikely. As the images for the HD supporting
 versions aren't sourced yet u really can't update the version you buy.
 so for the basic 500 with a couple of floppies + 1mb its fine to look at 
 just don't expect to compile anything large. and prepare for quite a heavy
 bit of disk changing ;)
