"Computer Operating Systems", Andrew Tannebaum. haha... that's over 10 
years ago for me. Already forgotten the name of the book that came with 
Minix. "The Minix Operating System"?

Back then, we hacked the scheduling algorithm of an peusdo-OS called 
KMOS (written in Pascal) in a book by xxxx Milenkoric, published by 
Macmiliam. Too bad that the degree course didn't believe in Minix if not 
Unix (Linux was not heard of back then).

I just wondered whether the "scratch" in linuxfromscratch is the real 
ground zero.
