	MINIX is NOT public domain software!!  MINIX is published software!
It costs ~$80, and you can buy the OS and the source code from Prentice-Hall.
For more info, peek at comp.os.minix.

	One last note:  Minix isn't a general use OS yet.  It's a "toy"
OS for people who are interested in working on OS's.  "Toy" is quoted because
it's fully self-supporting with a C compiler and multi-tasking and it's own
file-system and communications support, but it isn't meant for developing
software.
