'''Minix-vmd''' is a [[free software]] ("[[open source]]") [[operating system]] which was created from [[Minix]], and added some additional features such as virtual memory and [[X Window System]] support. |

Minix-vmd only ran on [[IA-32]] and compatible [[microprocessor|microprocessor architectures]]. It was written by many of the same authors who develop Minix, at the [[Vrije Universiteit]] (VU) in [[Amsterdam]]. The acronym reputedly stands for "VU Minix Distribution". |
|||
The operating system, according to its authors, was not meant to be a general purpose use OS and was created to meet specific needs they had rather than to be a general use OS like [[Linux]]. It also does not share the educational goals of its parent, [[Minix]]. |
|||
Nevertheless, the OS may have been of interest to others for various purposes, due to its small resource usage compared with other OSs and other factors. However, [[Minix 3]], added Minix-vmd's functions into Minix itself. |
