 This was way back when on Minix 2.0, running on a 386. I've run it in a VM
 since then.

I don't think it'll ever be a desktop OS in this day and age; with Minix/VM
you could run an old version of X, and Michael Temari had ported some SMTP
and web apps over to it, so you could sort of use it as a desktop hosting
text tools. There are a ton of small linuxes out here that do a better job
as a pure desktop OS, though.
