在上文我们提到世界上最流行的操作系统不是Linux也不是Windows，而是MINIX，可能很多操作系统迷很想了解和下载试用这款操作系统，那么本文现在提供，MINIX目前最新版本是MINIX 3.3.0。MINIX和Linux都常被列入类UNIX操作系统中，所不同的是，Linux是一个巨大而且实用性非常强的系统，世界上最强性能的计算机都运行着Linux，而MINIX只是一个小型迷你类UNIX系统，有兴趣的朋友可以尝试下。
MINIX 3.3.0很早就已经正式发布，它包含了很重要的新特性，如下： 1.MINIX系统基于一个极小的微型内核（仅有(12700行代码。） 2.微型内核处理中断和消息传递，并且是唯一在内核模式运行的代码 3.The rest of the operating system runs as a collection of isolated, protected, user-mode processes 4.Each device driver is a separate user-mode process isolated by the MMU hardware 5.If a driver crashes, the system automatically restarts it, with running applications not even noticing 6.This means that MINIX 3.3.0 is self-healing 7.Userland is largely compatible with NetBSD and runs thousands of NetBSD packages 8.By combining an innovative self-healing research OS with NetBSD userland, we got the best of both worlds 9.提供有clang/LLVM和gcc编译器，也支持Python，Perl等 10.MINIX 3.3.0提供x86和ARM Cortex A8架构，使其适用嵌入式系统 11.Tools for cross compiling MINIX 3 for the ARM on Linux are provided 12.Ports are available now for the BeagleBoard XM, BeagleBone white, and BeagleBone black 13.Extensive documentation is available in the MINIX 3 wiki 14.The code has been improved over MINIX 3.2.1 in hundreds of ways, leading to a cleaner and more reliable system
