OSNews, Generic OSes 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 seem to have missed one extremely important point here, namely that minix is microkernel. Along with qnx and Mach-without-apple-modifications it's one of the few true microkernels you can lay your hands on today. And I don't actually think you get the source for the qnx kernel.
