This newsgroup is about Minix, not Unix, not GNU, not Mach, not Xenix,
not Sys V/7, not <name of your dream>.  Minix.  The actual living Minix.

What Minix might become, what it's limitations might be, and even
what operating systems are generally (apart from Minix) does not relate
to this newsgroup, I think.  For the first half of its existence, the
topics seemed appropriate.  Now more than half of what we get here
(I believe because of the inconsiderateness of the posters) is not
about Minix.  It belongs somewhere else.  It doesn't belong here.
