Minix

MINIX is a small, efficient computer operating system designed to manage hardware and software resources. It acts as an intermediary between the computer’s hardware (like the processor, memory, and storage) and the programs users run. Developed with a focus on reliability and security, MINIX is often used for education and research, helping people understand how operating systems work. Its modular design allows components to be tested and updated independently, making it a useful tool for learning and experimentation in computing.
