This tutorial will walk the reader through setting up Minix 2.0.4 on Windows XP via Bochs 2.1.1. These are the latest versions of Minix, Bochs and Windows XP as of May of 2004. In this era of Linux and Windows domination of the OS scene, it is important to remember that there are alternatives. Hence, this article will also serve as an introduction to one such alternative, Minix, which has a very rich heritage, indeed.

This article is really worth printing in OSNews. I've been re-reading a lot of stuff from Minix lately (we took it up in college and oh boy, installing it was incredibly scary for me back then) because of the so called "issues" against Linux.
But then, Minix stays true to its roots, thanks to AT's resolve to make Minix stay as it is: an OS for all of us to study.
This article should be of great use for students.
