MINIX
<operating system> /MIN-ix/ A small operating system that is very similar
to UNIX. MINIX was written for educational purposes by Prof. Andrew S. Tanenbaum
of Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam.
MINIX has been written from scratch and contains no AT&T code -- neither in the
kernel, the compiler, the utilities, nor the libraries. Although copyrighted by
Prentice-Hall, all sources, binaries and documentation can be obtained via
Internet for educational or research purposes.
Current versions as of 1996-11-15:
MINIX 2.0 - Intel CPUs from Intel 8088 to Pentium
MINIX 1.5 - Intel, Macintosh (MacMinix), Amiga, Atari ST, Sun SPARC.
