HelenOS ( http://www.helenos.org/ ) and Minix ( http://www.minix3.org/ ) are fundamentally different. While Minix is POSIX compliant, HelenOS has been designed and developed from scratch, improving upon some of the broken legacy conventions

This project is very much challenging and fascinating too. And Google Summer of Code is an incredible program for university students to get seriously involved in such projects and open source in general. Last year I worked on porting NetBS

Sorry, there is no audio/video of it. This was supposed to be just a casual chat, but it turned out to be an incredible exchange of more than one hour. I wasn't prepared to record the conversation, but I wish I had.

I had a one-to-one talk with Rasmus Lerdorf a few weeks ago. This is one of the few things he said: " I wrote PHP as a hammer to do my stuff. Around 1993, the only way to write web apps was by hacking C and Perl. This was extremely painful,

It's exactly the same that happens with me, and i guess with most of the people. Besides, whenever i am programming in a new language, it happens that I gradually come to know more tricks, hacks and lower level details about the language wh

You are right to some extent. Yet, there has been many improvements in the kernel since 1988, especially after Minix 3 was announced. And yes, the code base has significantly grown in all of drivers, user-space servers and userland.

by vivekprakash 15y ago
Yes, it has changed a lot since then and also put on some heavy weight in kernel and userland. The goal of Minix 3 is to become a highly reliable, flexible, and secure OS which can be used as a product in a serious way. Visit http://en.wik

Disclaimer: I am not an official member of Minix team. However, given my understanding, it certainly looks Minix is going to compete with QNX, VxWorks and similar OS used in embedded systems. Visit http://wiki.minix3.org/en/MinixGoals and

I didn't intend to sound the way it seems i sounded. Sorry for that! Btw, the focus of Minix 3 has changed and it is no longer intended just for research/education. Minix 3 was publicly announced on 24 October 2005 by Andrew Tanenbaum and i

I don't understand if Git has anything to with it. Simply because Linux and Minix differ on their views on kernel design, it doesn't mean Minix shouldn't use a better scm :)

No, it's not. May be you don't know MINIX 3 very well ;)

by vivekprakash 15y ago
If something is very successful, it doesn't mean it is very good and nothing can replace it. The world is currently divided into many school of thoughts, and only time will tell which kernel design is going to win the war. Also, there has b

Thank you collypops! Just to let you know, this site is built in just 2 months with a team of 3 people, and launched just 3 days ago. So, i guess we have a lot of kinks to iron out and figure out the right direction ;)
