Minix is not public domain. It is sold for, I think, around $100. It is distributed by Prentice Hall, but I am told not to order through them because they are terribly slow in filling orders for it. I heard a while ago that there were ftp sites with it. I don't know what the deal was. Also, the moderator at comp.binaries.ibm.pc has been sent a demo version (without source and possibly some features) that he'll hopefully post soon. If anyone knows of ftp sites with the demo version I'd like to know about them. If you want to know more about Minix it has its own newsgroup. Get the freqently asked questions posting.
