[Discussions regarding the (expected) higher costs (text, software,
 hard-disk, ... ) of using new versions of Mnix in OS classes]

This is not a new idea, but how about using earier version (1.2 or even 1.1)
in classes?  After the class, students with further interest in
Minix can purchase the newest version.  (I am almost assuming the
earier versions of Minix is freely copiable to students.  But I maybe wrong.)
