Andrew Tanenbaum: Operating systems' Mr Reliable
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost 20 years on, what would you say has been MINIX's
| contribution to society?
|
| Well, it has educated hundreds of thousands of students worldwide
| in operating system design. It also led to Linux. I doubt that
| Linus would have written Linux if he hadn't had the MINIX source
| code to study carefully. I think that it will yet show that the
| only way to make a system truly reliable is to make it small
| and modular.
