They DO have the book now; they had lots of copies available for attendees
of Dr. Tannenbaum's talk last Wednesday.  They will have the software,
too, but, as mentioned here previously, it won't be ready until March.

Dr. Tannenbaum also mentioned that some of the source code published
in the book is a little out of date.  Nothing major, but if you want
to hack Minix, you'll need to read the REAL source.

Finally, an anecdote from his talk: somebody mentioned GNU, and Dr.
Tannenbaum said, "Mr. Stallman and I don't get along very well.  In
fact, Mr Stallman and X don't get along very well, for all X."
