I am new to minix. I am interesting in knowing if a version
        exists that has pageing and swapping ( For those PC`s with
        an MMU) ?

                                        Thanks ahead of time.

Ok, it is obviously time for a small plug once more :-)

There is an experimental FREE minix-like thing which supports paging
(not yet to disk, but using the MMU to share pages after a fork etc
etc), written only for 386 AT's.  It currently isn't very practical,
even though a number of people have a running system.  It is a bit
faster than minix (except the floppy-disk driver which really sucks :-).

This is a kernel for hackers, so if you aren't one, you'd better wait
for a later release.  If anybody wants to look at the sources, there is
a version available from 'nic.funet.fi' by anonymous FTP.  There are
also some binaries for the kernel there (gcc, tar, make, uemacs and
fileutils).  All this can be found in /pub/OS/Linux.  This version
currently needs minix-386 to compile (but in a week I'll have a bootable
version there, I think).

Anybody interested can finger me, or mail me for info, or just ftp some
of the text-files from nic. Word of warning: it needs 4MB to be usable.

I am a final year student and I believe that someone is undertaking to
do a project based on the above. Whether, this has already been done I
dont know
