You can get Minix on a cdrom if you buy the book "Operating Systems: Design
and Implemetation" by Andy Tanenbaum, published by Prentice Hall.  (I think
that's the title; I know it's Operating Systems, something and something).
Or you can download it from ftp.cs.vu.nl (the operating system, not the book).

Tried to play my shoehorn... all I got was footnotes.
