Xinu Is Not Unix ... for 68000 systems

Xinu is a small, elegant operating system that supports dynamic process creation, dynamic memory allocation, network communication, local and remote file systems, a shell, and device-independent I/O functions.

Although it shares concepts and even names with Unix, the internal design differs completely.

It's small size makes it suitable for embedded environments.
