I have seen on the internet that someone wanted to port debian to minix3, but
the report was old. Is there anyone that wants to port? I find it usefull.
I don't have the ability to do it, but if it works I will switch to it [ the
next versionof minix will handle driver crashes(no more nasty fs crash - hard
reboot) ].

I found out about your project from this comp.os.minix thread Debian
GNU/Minix:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.minix/browse_thread/thread/071f327ff19606c6/ ,
but when i went to the 'Preventa' link i found an old date (1 January 2006).
Roman Ignatov <r-ig...@yandex.ru> , GTk to minix porter said to me in an
email "I want ported library qt on Minix. But when I will begin this do, I
can not say." I think GTk and Qt porting to minix have many things in comon
with your task and I encourage you to talk with him. Also feel free to add
posts to the comp.os.minix in that thread about your status!

When Debian/Minix is ready(with QT and KDE) I will switch from Debian/Linux
immediatly!

Keep up the good work! Guys like you help free software to rise above the
rest!

That would be me. I've done a lot of compiling of packages over the past

few months but avoided the hard parts of a full port also my build machine
has become severely limited in disk space. Next week I'm getting a
replacement and at that time I'll tidy things up and hopefully start
making faster progress.

Any chance of getting a minix-amd64 started?
