Hi!!!
I have used Linux before, but since I did got Minix 3.2.1 am I very happy. Even if I don't got any IT connection, I have wrote some HTML pages and put them in /home/html and use Links web browser to watch those pages. And I don't have any X11 aka XWindows, I run my Minix 3 in console mode. I have even moved my harddrive with Minix installation at, to another computer. That can't you do with Linux. And I know now this, Linux did came from Minix 386, it was from that version of Minix Linus T did make Linux. But no more Linux for me, I like Minix 3 cause I can do what I want to do in that operating system.
All you need to get Minix, go to
www.minix3.org and download that ISO file, burn it on an CD. Then take a computer who you don't need, and boot on that CD then login as root and run setup so are the installation going. Easier can it don't be, you don't need those boot disks to install Minix 3. As if you should install Linux, then you need some boot disks...
