What Is MINIX 3?
MINIX 3 is a free, open-source, operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure.
It is based on a tiny microkernel running in kernel mode with the rest of the operating system running
as a number of isolated, protected, processes in user mode.
It runs on x86 and ARM CPUs, is compatible with NetBSD, and runs thousands of NetBSD packages.
