Does anyone know why Intel would pick Minix? I can understand not picking Linux, from a licencing perspective, but surely some BSD would have been easier to hire for and more likely to have a modern upstream.
- teddyh 2y agoIntel may have needed some of Minix’ unique (for the time) features, like its microkernel architecture and seamless live updates of system components.
- Rochus 2y agoActually I would be interested to see an official confirmation by Intel that they indeed still use Minix, and which version of it. So far all such claims I'm aware of came from third parties.
