The self-healing thing in Minix 3 really works. Some years ago I installed Minix 3 on a very old Thinkpad that had an esoteric video hardware quirk that would crash most OS's. It was "designed for Windows 95" and by God they meant it because you couldn't run anything else on it. Neither Linux nor Windows 98 would run for very long before the hardware would cause a driver crash and a kernel panic/bluescreen (even in text mode). But with Minix 3 the video driver would just transparently restart after each crash, so smoothly that I wouldn't notice it unless I was watching the logs.
