I am a beginer with Minix and ELKS, but I prefered ELKS (not MINIX) first
because Minixs' bad development. I actually mean that Minix's developers
don't work so hard on Minix. At the first time, I asced Al about somethin,
and I recived answers very fast, on Minix distribution I asked some
questions so, and I don't get any answer, yet. That why I prefered ELKS.
And Minix news group doesn't work on my news server:(
At the mean time Minix is interesting too..
That is my prposition how to learn Unixs...
