Tinix

Operating System

Tinix, short for Try It as miNIX-like operating system, is a tutorial operating system written by Yu Yuan and designed primarily to teach fundamentals rather than to do useful work. Its complete source code is provided in his book Writing OS DIY. Tinix borrows many concepts and methods from Minix, and the book is meant to supply the practical programming skills, especially in x86 assembly language, that Andrew S. Tanenbaum's textbook Operating Systems: Design and Implementation does not provide.
