If the spot is education, I should say it has failed (maybe not in the US, I don't know there).
Where I live, you can be happy if people knows what Linux is, maybe you find 1 between each 100 computer users.
Teachers here does not know to program a lot. You can be happy if they are able to copy&paste commands, and blindly follow search engine results.
Of course 100 of each 100 computer users know what android is (not what it means for their freedom, surveillance and privacy). And the market is full of java/android programmers making cry to any UNIX-like sysadmin or security expert with their code.
Education here gets ipad and Microsoft stuff. With agreements hard to break.
At much, you see a "fedora" computers room, on public universities, just to run a few mathematical programs on some careers, and nothing else.
Out of certain universities, it's hard to find people doing things (even in the educational land) with minix.
- m-app 12y agoI think you misunderstood the use of the word education here. The grand-parent post did not mean the education community as a whole that is using (or even knows) Minix, but just that Minix is used to educate. Specifically educate Computer Science students on how OS's work.
