From an 8 year old HN comment:

> if someone thinks they're going to be able to pick up the latest edition of Operating Systems: Design and Implementation in search of documentation for either MINIX-the-project or MINIX-the-software, they will be sorely disappointed. The fact that the book is now about a decade out of date is one reason for the latter. There are a number of reasons for the former.

Interesting. I wonder if every university that uses the textbook just maintains it's own repo then?

My class used the textbook, but we never built minix from scratch or even used it in real-life. Still a lot to be learned that way.

i had similar experience a few years ago, ended up playing with xv6. not the same of course

If we put this on docker, that would avoid a similar situation in future right

It doesn't fix the issue of code comments and other documentation being out of date (read: wrong).
