[edit] Minix as open source
In the late 1990s, the license for Minix was converted to open source – When? --Hhielscher 10:50, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minix vs. Minix 3
I am starting a separate article for Minix 3. As prof. Andrew Tannenbaum quoted it : "MINIX 1 and MINIX 3 are related in the same way as Windows 3.1 and Windows XP are: same first name." (http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/reliable-os/) Freedom to share 16:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MINIX logo?
What's the history of the minix logo 
?
- That logo was introduced with MINIX 3. Previously the logo was a stylized "M". I guess the raccoon comes from the cover of the 3rd edition of Operating Systems: Design and Implementation [1]. Letdorf 17:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Any Book there which teaches step-by-step coding of OS (e.g. Minix/Minix-3)
Over time I have been looking for a book which can guide say a C/C++ programmer to write his own OS. Normally books only discuss the various modules(Memory Management, Process Management etc) and stop at that, in case of book on Minix by Andrew S. Tanenbaum it supplied the source code but didn't devote chapters on writing part of the souce code. Any such book available somewhere or is there a plan for the same on Wikibook/Wikiversity.

[edit] Move to MINIX?
With the exception of Minix-vmd, every instance of the name "minix" in this article is in all caps. Does this article belong at MINIX? Playstationman 10:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I'd say so. Letdorf 10:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
