LINUX podría ser UNA COPIA ILEGAL de MINIX
🫷Booting the final version 5.3 of Andy #Tanenbaum's #amoeba distributed OS in #qemu (32 bit x86). Just because (and we had a discussion about capabilities...).
«Dr Andrew S #Tanenbaum – often known as "ast" for short – has been honored in the ACM Technical Awards 2023. The award is for his creation of the #MINIX operating system. It's not as famous as the offspring it directly inspired – the #Linux kernel. As well as that, though, MINIX 3 is a true #FOSS microkernel #OS, and as it's the software that powers the system management controller embedded in most modern Intel processors, it's exceptionally widely used.»

Andy #Tanenbaum received the 2023 #ACM Software System Award for his work on #MINIX – congratulations!
William Gropp, University of Illinois; Pavan Balaji, Meta; Rajeev Thakur, Yanfei Guo, Kenneth Raffenetti, and Hui Zhou (all of Argonne National Laboratory), receive the ACM Software System Award for MPICH, which has powered 30 years of progress in computational science and engineering by providing scalable, robust, and portable communication software for parallel computers. The ACM Software System Award is presented to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both. The Software System Award carries a prize of $35,000. Financial support for the Software System Award is provided by IBM.
I recently watched the attached video. Professor #Tanenbaum is undoubtedly a man of great expertise. In the reimplementation of #Minix 3, he says he chose code based on #BSD (not #Linux) because the code is of superior quality. If Professor Tanenbaum says so...

🎂 Il #16marzo 1944 nasce Andrew Stuart Tanenbaum, conosciuto come "Andy", informatico statunitense e più famoso come autore di alcuni dei più famosi libri di informatica.
#Tanenbaum è diventato noto anche per una discussione pubblica avvenuta tra lui e #LinusTorvalds sui vantaggi e svantaggi dei Microkernel e i sistemi monolitici, svoltasi dal 29 gennaio 1992
The new 5th edition of Tanenbaum's Modern Operating Systems came out recently: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Operating-Systems-Andrew-Tanenbaum-ebook/dp/B09ZHR7NRK/
In the Android section, there are two major additions of material, on privacy and background execution. (At least there should be, I haven't actually seen the final book!)
It was interesting looking back at the 4th edition material (from 2013-2014) and realizing though it had a lot on security, there was basically nothing on privacy!
