Do you know about Minix?

I come across Minix OS while I was browsing at the library books looking for info on how to build an operating system back in somewhere around year 1999. At that time, I was having the idea of developing a strip down version of gaming console running on older PC system without using Windows. I did not succeed develope that console, but i did discover Minix, which really impress me.
