Are there any other good minimal teaching operating systems out there? Unix-like or not.
- guerrilla 6y agoMINIX before version 3. There are books by Tanenbaum (and I think others?) that use it to teach operating system design and development.
- cxr 6y agoEven Minix 3 is fairly small. "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" was synced with Minix 3 in its latest edition (2006). It's all the crud in later releases where things started getting junked up, after Tanenbaum got a windfall of cash, gave his students the keys to the kingdom, so they ended up importing large parts of NetBSD, sloppily. Say hello to 3-hour build times and a codebase that no one contributes to anymore.
- vips7L 6y agoYeah after I read OSTEP and felt like I understood xv6 enough I tried to move on to minix 3 and reading tanenbaums book. I couldn't do it. There was just so much going on.
- loeg 6y agoWindows NT was used in my university's Operating System course (in 2010).
