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.

"I'd suggest people check out Mach and QNX architectures if they want something relevant."

An QNX's marketshare is what? Let's face it, isn't Apple about the only thing keeping the Mach kernel alive (though even they modified it)? You seem the *Nixes aren't the future. I guess some of you just don't consider marketshare at all, but can you think of a better way to measure the relevance of an OS?
