For more information, see the 3.1.3 release notes and the download page." MINIX3 will now also release weekly snapshots.

Originally, Minix 1 and 2 were simply learning tools. Minix 3 is focusing on being an OS for embedded systems or resource limited computers. I've seen a few decent ports lately for Minix (Links comes to mind) and hopefully soon it will be a viable alternative to Linux for embedded systems.
