Tanenbaum/story/15960/Introduction-to-MINIX-3Guhnoo Yang?译?How often have you rebooted your TV set in the past year? Probably a lot less than you have rebooted your computer. Of course there are many reasons for this, but increasingly, nontechnical users dont want to hear them. They just want their computer to work perfectly all the time and never crash. MINIX 3 is a project to develop an operating system as reliable as a TV set, for embedded systems and mission critical applications, but also for future $50 single-chip laptops and general desktop use. The focus is being small, simple, and reliable. Note: This is the last entry for the Alternative OS Contest.过去你重启电视机有多频繁??可能远比重启你的计算机少吧.?当然,?虽然这是由多方面”原因”所致,?但非技术用户从不希望听这些解释.?他们只希望自己计算机能很好地工作永不崩溃. MINIX3是这样一项工程:?不仅为嵌入式系统,?重要任务应用,?而且还包括未来售价仅$50的单芯片手提电脑和普通桌面等用途开发像电视机一样可靠的OS.?它关注的是小巧,?简单,?可靠等.?注意:?这是可选OS内容的最后一项.?History历史?MINIX 3 has a bright future but somewhat checkered past. The first version, MINIX 1, was released in 1987 and was the first UNIX clone with all the source code available. It developed rapidly and soon had its own USENET newsgroup (comp.os.minix), with 40,000 subscribers within 3 months, a large number at a time when the Internet was only available to university researchers and students. One of the early MINIX adopters was a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds, who went out and bought a PC just to run MINIX, studied it very carefully, and then decided to write his own operating system, inspired by MINIX. Although Linus knew MINIX very well, he didnt steal any code from it, as some people have alleged. Linus system grew into the modern Linux system. MINIX author, Andrew Tanenbaum and Torvalds have had some fairly public discussions on operating system design, originally in?1992?and most recently in?2006.MINIX3未来一片光明,?但它也有坎坷的过去.?第一版, MINIX1,?发布于1987年,?它是第一个完全自主代码的UNIX克隆.?它发展迅速,?很快就拥有属于自己的新闻组(comp.os.minix), 3个月
