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.

Thanks for the FUD - What do we have to fear, save fear itself?
Your comment can be applied to any OS on the market - XP included. The fact that the questions are even being asked is indicative of a high degree of interest. I didn't write the article from the point of view of an advocate, merely an interested hobbyist. That having been said, with enough interest and development, Minix could indeed be viable in production.
Eye roll please... I was a Linux newbie when the 0.9 kernel series came out and these were exactly the kinds of questions that were prevalent - does Linux do PCI (not yet), what about my Viper V550 (diamond is *vil)...
gnillort is droll...
