Ahh...
It is an academic project by Tananbaum. He may be a great teacher and
an academician but one should remember that he is not an engineer.
We are engineers and hackers and we want things that work and work
well in the real world.
So let us safely lock Minix in the old rusty trunk box in your bedroom
and go try, the BSDs and breathe some fresh air.
Don't waste your time doing projects of academic interest.
