Yep, it and the reference book was designed as a companion to an
operating systems design class taught by the author.
Like I mentioned, since it was meant for teaching, the code is straightforward. I hadn't written C code for probably 10 years and could make sense of the MINIX code when I walked through it.
oh, now I get it. I mistook it with xenix from microsoft.
Minix is Tanenbaum's (the professor behind the OS development books and academic curriculum).
Still same case, I think I need to install it one day.
I remember Tanenbaum's discussion with Torvalds on the usenet in the 90s.
could be counted in as first flame wars on the net among top stars, I can reckon at least.
