Hello Russell - 

RT>>> Well it has httpd, which the last version I looked at did
RT>>> not have, just given it a quick once over, will install
RT>>> it later when I have time, and have found a supported NIC
RT>>> for it. 

CA>> Sounds good to me. :-) 

RT> Except, I cannot get it to make a partion bigger than 4Gig.
RT>  

I will keep a watchful eye out for any information about the 4
gig partition size. Meanwhile with MINIX being as tiny (in
comparison to linux) I'm not sure how much of a limitation that
will be for MINIX right now?

One other problem that has been brought up, linux can only
read MINIX v2 files.  MINIX 3 cannot read or write v2 files so
moving files around from linux to MINIX or vice versa is a bit
problematic.

btw: One of the 'developers' made a comment that they are
working on a GUI for MINIX (if that matters to anyone).
