Hello Minixers,

I'm about to buy MINIX and would like to know, where
to get the 386- MINIX extensions. (Best would be an ftp
site in europe, You know, the university doesn't like 
high phone bills...). Important would be an accurate address
(i.e. address + directorioes !), because I can't use ftp for 
my own, I have to tell our staff, where to get what.

Another question: Is there anybody out there working on a 
X-windows interface for MINIX. Or is there something around yet ?
I'd like to use MINIX for graphical applications and could
get PD software running under any UNIX with X-windows.

Any pointers appreciated.

Robert
