Xinu ("Xinu Is Not Unix", a recursive acronym) is a Unix-like operating system originally developed by Douglas Comer for instructional purposes at Purdue University in the 1980s. It has been ported to many hardware platforms, including the DEC LSI-11, Sun-2 and Sun-3 workstations, Intel x86, PowerPC G3 and MIPS. Xinu has been deployed in several commercial products, and continues to be used for operating system and networking courses at Universities around the world.
