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.

You do mention the study aspect, but most of your article is about installing and running it. Any Minix article should strongly emphasize that it is primarily meant as a study tool, and getting the book and source are more important than running the binaries. After reading your article, a typical user will try to run it for 10 minutes, decide that it doesn't "do" much, and delete and forget about it. If you're not interested in OS design, there is not much point in running pointless.
