  1. Do I have to buy another book for this version? on Andy Tanenbaum Releases Minix 3 · · Score: 1
    Does that mean I have to buy another book. I already have the first two ;)

    I used to run Minix on my 386 when I was a student . Unfortunately, I couldn't get the source code easly with the 1st edition of the book. I think the publisher had the copyright and have to send them a postcard with $60 or something and they will send you a tape/or floppies. That is a lot of money for a student. But, somebody gave the source to me. And I was looking like the picture of the guy in front of the book, glued my face to my computer :)

    OS free or not it is not propriatery. I can move to Solaris, FreeBSD, etc. I can be assured that there is no Spyware and other junk in it.
