And thats it.
But as someone in an earlier comment mentioned, the Google report showed the number 1 reliability factor is heat, not manufacturer of HDD.
Yup, but that's only the translastion of the original name: Vrije Universiteit Compiler Kit. It was a (the?) reason for changing the name to Amsterdam Compiler Kit.
Over here at the uni (VU Amsterdam; home of Minix author Andrew S. Tanenbaum, so we're a bit biased) we're still using Minix for practical work on Operating Systems Design as well as Computer Networks.
The latter makes heavy use of Minix-VMD and X so we only need one computer to test networking (they implemented virtual NICs).
I also know of at least one person who uses X on Minix daily for his work (and no, it's not AST). Maybe I ought to tell him he shouldn't login as nobody...
Just in case you can't get them away from their computer anymore.
Seriously, it's a OSS-clone of the anti-RSI tool Workpace. It uses GTK2 and comes in a win32 installer package. I'm currently looking at the linux version, and it seems to work. I expect the windows version to do so as well.
The Globe-project (http://www.cs.vu.nl/globe) from Tanenbaum has some application (called GlobeDoc) that attempts to replicate websites over various servers based on the use of the site. Dunno if it's handy for anything as dynamic as a newssite though.

It's Borland Database Engine (or BDE for short) that's ment. Paradox ended up with Corel, last I heard they've released a '98/'99 version; it was even well received in the DB review recently in C't

Well, there's little to choose these days:
- Seagate (which bought Samsung earlier this year)
- WD (which is waiting for EU approval to buy Hitachi)
- Toshiba (who don't make 3.5" disks for the consumer market AFAIK)
And thats it.

He already has. See the second paragraph of his Introduction:
Over the past year, the work I've been proudest of has been the transition of Debian XFree86 packaging effort from individual-based to team-based.

The original shell-script version is dated somewhere around 1986, the translation to c is from around 1990.
