How could minix die, my OS classes was the minix OS. We took the book, learned the concepts and then rewrote parts of the OS for assignments. Minix is the only OS small enough to teach, and still be relivant to current OS implementations to carry over. I like Linux, but it is too big to teach in one semester. Minix fills a much needed space in the OS land scape. -- GTD

It could be ok, don't a lot of people die in this one ... could you think of anybody else who should.
You should care because this just shows how portable Linux really is. I would like to see someone try to port a copy of XP over to a PS1
