Also on the horizon for me- I discovered Minix 3. If you don't know what it is, don't worry, it's not another Linux clone. Linux is a clone of Minix. :b&w:

Yeah, it's basically the coolest. Linux-like system, Lynx 2 web browsing, Pine email, word processing, and most importantly TELNET (you know why) on a... 386! I'm drooling already. I wonder if it would work on my old Tandy IBM clone laptop.
