That's awesome that you had your own Minix server. What version of
Minix did you run and since you have used and studied it,
This was way back when on Minix 2.0, running on a 386. I've run it in a VM
since then.
I don't think it'll ever be a desktop OS in this day and age; with Minix/VM
you could run an old version of X, and Michael Temari had ported some SMTP
and web apps over to it, so you could sort of use it as a desktop hosting
text tools. There are a ton of small linuxes out here that do a better job
as a pure desktop OS, though.
