'''Minix-vmd''' is a computer [[operating system]] which was created from [[MINIX]], a [[Unix-like]] [[microkernel]], and added some features such as [[virtual memory]] and [[X Window System]] support. It is [[free and open source software]]. |
|||
Minix-vmd runs on [[IA-32]] and compatible [[microprocessor]] architectures. It was written by many of the same authors who develop MINIX, at the [[Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam|Vrije Universiteit]] (VU) in [[Amsterdam]]. The acronym reputedly stands for ''VU Minix Distribution''. |
|||
According to its authors, Minix-vmd was created to meet specific needs they had, rather than to be a general purpose use OS like [[Linux]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.minix-vmd.org |title=Welcome to Minix-vmd.org|access-date=16 April 2017}}</ref> It also does not share the educational goals of MINIX. |
|||
Nevertheless, the OS may have been of interest to others for various purposes, due to its small resource use compared with other operating systems, and other factors. However, [[MINIX 3]] incorporated Minix-vmd's functions. |
