We are the MINIX 3 research group at the Vrije Universiteit. Our goal is to develop a highly reliable and dependable (multiserver) open-source operating system that can survive software failures and repair itself. The ultimate goal is to build an operating system with a mean time to failure comparable to a TV set, which is to say, that the average user never experiences even a single failure during the entire period he or she owns the device.
MINIX has evolved over the years. It started out as an educational tool, but has now become a serious system that could be used for applications where high reliability is important. While not as complete as Linux, it does have two C compilers (including gcc), compilers for other languages, many shells, and well over 500 of the standard UNIX programs. Using it is like using any other UNIX system, except most people just run X11 rather than a GUI (although we do have a simple GUI).
It is also faster than you might imagine. Bui
