Redox (operating system) influenced by MINIX
Redox is a Unix-like microkernel operating system written in the programming language Rust, which has a focus on safety, stability, and performance. Redox aims to be secure, usable, and free. Redox is inspired by prior kernels and operating systems, such as SeL4, MINIX, Plan 9, and BSD. It is similar to Linux and BSD, but is written in a memory-safe language. It is free and open-source software distributed under an MIT License.
Redox gets its name from the reduction-oxidation reactions in chemistry; one redox reaction is the corrosion of iron, also called rust.Redox kernel – derives from the concept of microkernels, with inspiration from MINIX
Ralloc – memory allocator
TFS file system – inspired by the ZFS file system
Ion shell – the underlying library for shells and command execution in Redox, and the default shell
pkgutils – package manager
Orbital windowing system – display and window manager, sets up the orbital: scheme, manages the display, and handles requests for window creation, redraws, and event polling
relibc – C standard library
