I ran a web server, mail server and DNS on a 286 running MINIX, so not
much.

One fun thing about running MINIX is looking at the source code. It's
meant as a learning tool, is well documented and clearly written.
Looking at 8290.c to see how packets are pushed down and pulled off the
wire is an interesting learning experience.
