I don't see the name conflict. "rpix86" and "MINIX" look entirely 
different to me. Just because there's an "x" or "-ix" in there 
doesn't make it a name conflict, just like "FreeDOS" (or the 
original name, "PD-DOS") didn't make it a name conflict with "MS-DOS".


And MINIX is different from rpix86: MINIX is a whole Unix kernel 
plus Unix userspace, rpix86 is a virtual x86 machine for ARM plus 
DOS kernel. And "rpix86" is just the name of the binary package, 
anyway. It really stands for "R. Pi x86".


He was likely rather referring to the Hong Kong based company/web 
site called MiniX that offers the media hub which Robert mentioned in his reply
Doom on my MiniX NEO X5 
(http://www.minix.com.hk/Products/NEOX5.html)

connected to a 37" LCD TV. ;-)
