I’ve found this information about the new MINIX 3 operating system in the internet, in ur idea it will be successful or not? and pls why?
sry if it is so long 
MINIX 3 is a new open-source operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure. It is loosely based somewhat on previous versions of MINIX, but is fundamentally different in many key ways. MINIX 1 and 2 were intended as teaching tools; MINIX 3 adds the new goal of being usable as a serious system on resource-limited and embedded computers and for applications requiring high reliability
This new OS is extremely small, with the part that runs in kernel mode under 6000 lines of executable code. The parts that run in user mode are divided into small modules, well insulated from one another. For example, each device driver runs as a separate user-mode process so a bug in a driver (by far the biggest source of bugs in any operating system), cannot bring down the entire OS. In fact, most of the time when a driver crashes it is automatically replaced without requiring any user intervention, without requiring rebooting, and without affecting running programs. These features, the tiny amount of kernel code, and other aspects greatly enhance system reliability.
MINIX 3 is initially targeted at the following areas:
Applications where very high reliability is required
Single-chip, small-RAM, low-power, $100 laptops for Third-World children
Embedded systems (e.g., cameras, DVD recorders, cell phones)
Applications where the GPL is too restrictive (MINIX 3 uses a BSD-type license)
Education (e.g., operating systems courses at universities)
MINIX 3 Features
POSIX compliant
Networking with TCP/IP
X Window System
Languages: cc, gcc, g++, perl, python, etc.
Over 650 UNIX programs
Many improvements since V2
Full multiuser and multiprogramming
Device drivers run as user processes
High degree of fault tolerance
Full C source code supplied
Hardware Required
To run MINIX 3, you need a PC driven by a Pentium CPU or compatible. The standard configuration requires 16 MB of RAM. Since the distribution comes on a live CD, you can test it without allocating any hard disk space, but for a hard disk installation, 50 MB is needed as a minimum, 600 MB minimum if you want all the sources.
Current Status
The current stable version of MINIX 3 is 3.1.7. MINIX 3 is a work in progress. It is nowhere near as mature as FreeBSD or Linux right now. Ports to ARM and PowerPC are underway. Various programs and device drivers are being ported, and so on.

I seem a little confused but, I’m running on Vista and I made a partition that is 51200 MB (50GB) in the Disk Manager and I booted up with a Live CD into Fedora 12′s Desktop. Then I ran the “Install to harddrive” or whatever that may have been and got up to the part after selecting time, if you would like more information just e-mail me at hibbywhy@gmail.com I’ll post screenshots via e-mail if you need it.

What is the best version of Linux besides Ubuntu. I already tried Ubuntu and found it to my liking. I now want to give another version of Linux a try. My requirements are that it needs to be capable of being downloaded to make a live cd. Also, it must be able to dual boot with Windows XP! As well as this information, could you as well provide me links to videos with demonstrations and features as well as a dual boot tutorial for the Linux version you recommend. I appreciate your help! Thanks!

I’ve read on a linux forum site that shredding and melting a hard drive is the best way to get rid of information on it. or the next best is to find really good software and format it like 200 consecutive times. don’t really wanna do ‘neither of those. I’ve heard linux is best when when it comes to do with anything and everything about computers. like for instance, digging up old files on hard drives or formatting them. don’t remember the name of it, but I remember like a year ago, a friend had shown me this linux live cd. I think it had like a black desk top/background..?? he said it was like the next best thing to what the FBI uses. anyone know the name of that?? thanks, all
