Hello Minixers,

I'm about to upgrade to MINIX and would like to know,

  - Is there still any support for MINIX on 286 systems
  - What is the current version for 286?
  - What extensions are there available for the 286 version
  - Is the 286 version the same version as the 386 or will
    I be getting a slightly older version?
  - Are there any man pages available for Minix?
  - Are there any BBS systems operating on Minix.  If so
    what software and utilities are they using?
  - Would it be possible to operate a public access UNIX
    and a public access USENET system under the Minix
    Operating system?
  - Is there anybody out there working on a X-windows
    interface for MINIX.  Or is there something around
    yet - as my Dad is interested in graphical applications,
    but I think I could get PD software running under any
    UNIX system with X-windows.

Not to get me wrong, but I am using a 12 mhz 80286, but do
plan on upgrading to 386. Any pointers would highly be appreciated.
Phillip Keen
