It is not Linux, but it is open source. It might not be of interest to you,
but it is to others in the group.
I know you are not you suggesting emails to this mailing list be approved as
to the NCOLUG popularity before posting and I agree that Minix3 is not
something you or I might need at the moment (or at all).
As to Dave's suggestion to look at other small distros...I have tried all of
them too. I have been using puppy on a memory stick for quite a while. These
are still basically desktop distros for with low overhead and not really
designed to be a dedicated service oriented micro kernel OS. They are also a
little harder to install, though not much.
