However, the purpose of MINIX is to provide a instructional base to OS
design, not just to be an alternate OS for micro users.  This means
that if MINIX is implemented on top of Exec, then it is impossible to
expirement with different scheduling algorithms, etc.  Students would
have to still come into the labs to use the PC's, even if they did
have an Amiga.
