WINIX OS

Winix is a minimal, hobbyist, educational and UNIX-style Operating System for the Waikato RISC Architecture Microprocessor (WRAMP). It is a hybrid kernel with usability and performance in mind. Winix is mainly inspired by Minix1, which is the OS I learnt when I was in university.

Winix includes full-featured kernel with process and memory management, in-memory file system, exception control and user space bourne shell with interactive command line. Yes, you can even play snake on it by typing snake in the command line
