LimeMaster Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Random poll time. Do you use MINIX 3? If you don't know what it is, then here's a short exempt from Wikipedia: Quote MINIX 3 is a project to create a small, high availability, high functioning Unix-like operating system. It is published under a BSD license and is a successor project to the earlier versions, MINIX 1 and 2. The main goal of the project is for the system to be fault-tolerant by detecting and repairing its own faults on the fly, with no user intervention. The main uses of the system are envisaged to be embedded systems and education. As of 2017, MINIX 3 supports IA-32 and ARM architecture processors. It can also run on emulators or virtual machines, such as Bochs, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Oracle VirtualBox, and QEMU. A port to PowerPC architecture is in development. The distribution comes on a live CD and can be downloaded as a live USB stick image. The latest release is "minix_R3.4.0rc6-d5e4fc0.iso.bz2" (09 May 2017). MINIX 3 is believed to be used in the Intel ME found in Intel PCH beginning with the introduction of ME 11 which is used with Skylake/Kaby Lake processors.
