I had a job where I had hardware to spare and time to kill. Got a MINIX server
running on a 286/12 with 2 megabytes of memory and a 32 megabyte hard disk.
When I was done with it, it was running a web server, POP and SMTP email and a
slave DNS server. It sat under my desk, when the hard drive churned I knew I'd
gotten mail!

I loved Minix for the source code. I learned more about networking by reading
through the source code than I did from a couple of textbooks I'd had.
