I have been quiet about Mark William' Coherent operating system until
now, because I did not want to aggravate MW.  Now since MW is pursuing
the hoarding of ideas, I want to make a comparison of Coherent and
Minix.  Although I have used neither, I can make some intelligent
comments from reading the respective mailing lists.  The MINIX list is
much more active and helpful than the COHERENT list.  The MINIX
operating system is ported to many more platforms than COHERENT.
Source is provided, making the OS user-supportable, not true for
COHERENT.  Many GNU utilities have been ported to MINIX, making it the
closest thing to a GNU OS available today.  -David-
