MINIX 3 is a new open-source operating system designed to be highly reliable and secure. It is based somewhat on previous versions of MINIX, but is fundamentally different in many key ways. MINIX 1 and 2 were intended as teaching tools; MINIX 3 adds the new goal of being usable as a serious system on resource-limited and embedded computers and for applications requiring high reliability.

I am pleased to announce the availability of a new operating system, MINIX 3. While loosely based on MINIX 2, in many ways it is fundamentally different from its predecessors. It is extremely compact, modular, and designed for very high reliability. The total amount of code running in kernel mode is under 3800 lines (vs. 2.5 million for Linux). Each device driver runs as a separate user-mode process under the supervision of a reincarnation server. If a driver crashes or gets into an infinite loop, the reincarnation server kills it and starts a fresh copy, without rebooting the operating system and without affecting running processes. MINIX 3 has a small memory footprint (it runs in 8 MB with tweaking) and may be suitable for embedded systems as well as PCs. Yet it is quite powerful and comes with over 300 popular UNIX utilities, including two C compilers, emacs, vi, and much more. Best of all, it comes with all the source code and can be downloaded from www.minix3.org. The MINIX 3 mascot is a raccoon, chosen because raccoons are small, agile, cute, clever, and eat bugs.

موارد استفاده در سايت خيلي خلاصه نوشته شده – ( صفحه هاي تكميلي در زمان نوشتن اين
مطلب در دسترس نبود. احتمالا سرويس دهنده كمي با
slashdot effect :D
مواجه شده.)
–
Applications where very high reliability is required
– Single-chip, small-RAM, low-power,
$100 laptop for Third-World children
– Embedded systems (e.g., cameras, DVD recorders, cell
phones)
– Applications where the GPL is too restrictive (MINIX
3 uses a BSD-type license)
– Education (e.g., operating systems courses at
universities)
