 Minix, the miniature Unix from Andy Tanenbaum was initially released in 1987 for IBM PC and compatibles. In 1991 it was released for the Atari ST line of computers, in version 1.5, among ports for the Amiga, the 68k-based Macintosh, and the Sun Sparc. In 2000, it was relicensed in a [[http://minix1.woodhull.com/LICENSE.html|bsd style license]]
-Minix 1.x was meant to be system call compatible with  Research Unix v7, which explains the small size of the distribution ( 8 MB including source code and C compiler ) and the lack of features. Minix 1.5 comes in two flavours, a  [[http://www.minix3.org/previous-versions/Atari/ | floppy disk distribution]] containing the OS, C compiler and source code, and a [[http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/minix/demo/ | bootable demo disk]].\\
