DistroWatch.com: MINIX
MINIX

MINIX

Last Update: Wednesday 27 July 2011 11:53 GMT


MINIX

MINIX is a UNIX-like computer operating system based on a microkernel architecture. It is extremely small, with the part that runs in kernel mode in about 5,000 lines of source code, while the parts that run in user mode are divided into small, insulated modules which enhance system reliability. Originally designed as an educational tool, the latest versions of MINIX are also targetted at embedded systems and low-power laptops. By the project's own admission, MINIX is work in progress and is nowhere near as mature as BSD or Linux. It is released under a BSD-type licence.

Table Notes and Explanations
  • Select view: Major packages only (52) All tracked packages (213)
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the 'nautilus' and 'gnome-shell' packages. As per the Apache project's recommendations, apache 1.3.x is referred to as 'apache', while apache 2.x is referred to as 'httpd'.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
