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...).
Andrew #Tanenbaum honored for pioneering #MINIX, the OS hiding in a lot of computers - https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/25/tanenbaum_minix_award/ full details of how this project led to #Linux in "Rebel Code" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Code
Andy #Tanenbaum received the 2023 #ACM Software System Award for his work on #MINIX – congratulations!
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!
