Minix 3
MINIX 3 is a new open-source operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure. It is loosely based 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.
