 Minix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew S. Tanenbaum wrote the operating system to be used for educational purposes; Minix also inspired the creation of Linux.
Tanenbaum originally developed Minix for compatibility with the IBM PC and IBM PC/AT microcomputers available at the time.
Andrew Tanenbaum created Minix at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam to exemplify the principles conveyed in his textbook, Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (1987).

 Andrew S. Tanenbaum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Stuart "Andy" Tanenbaum (born 1944) is a professor of Computer Science at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
He is best known as the author of Minix, a free Unix-like operating system for teaching purposes, and for his computer science textbooks.
Tanenbaum went on to write the Amoeba distributed operating system, making full use of the microkernel idea.

 Structured Computer Organization (4th Edition) (Andrew S. Tanenbaum)
Andrew Tanenbaum might be the best there is when it comes to the study of computers but, unless you're a "thorough geek," you'd wish other technical writers would step into the fore.
You'd be hard pressed to understand the main concepts most of the times because, like a forgetful professor, he'd sometimes mention it in passing (without bold font) that you think they weren't that important.
I still have a few more semesters of computer science; I'm almost sure all the textbooks would be written by Tanenbaum (again!).

 Amazon.com: Books: Computer Networks
Attention is paid to foundational items salient to the topic of computer networks, with a measure of historical reference to the telecommunications industry in general.
This is the long-awaited 3rd Edition of Tanenbaum's classic book on computer networking.
I treasure that copy in my library to this day - it gave me a solid background in computer networking that served me well in the past and is an asset that will serve me in the future.

 Andrew S. Tanenbaum vs Linus Torvalds
Tanenbaum: do you still feel that free distribution of Minix via the net is not the best way to distribute Minix?
ast@cs.vu.nl (Andy Tanenbaum) writes: > > MINIX was designed to be reasonably portable, and has been ported from the > Intel line to the 680x0 (Atari, Amiga, Macintosh), SPARC, and NS32016.
ast@cs.vu.nl (Andy Tanenbaum) writes: >My point is that writing a new operating system that is closely tied to any >particular piece of hardware, especially a weird one like the Intel line, >is basically wrong.

 Amazon.com: Books: Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
Intended for use in a senior/graduate level distributed systems course or by professionals, this text systematically shows how distributed systems are designed and implemented in real systems.
Written in the superb writing style of other Tanenbaum books, the material also features unique accessibility and a wide variety of real-world examples and case studies, such as NFS v4, CORBA, DCOM, Jini, and the World Wide Web.
I acquired this book after reading Tanenbaum's excellent "Modern Operating Systems, 2nd ed." While I enjoyed that book, I couldn't finish "Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms." Those without a programming background and a serious need to learn distributed design principles won't finish either.

 Computer Networks (Andrew Tanenbaum) - book review
Tanenbaum's Computer Networks is a good, solid introductory textbook on networking suitable for those with a computing background, either university students or computer professionals.
I learnt my basic networking from it five years ago and have been using it as a reference ever since.
Computer Networks is still one of the best general texts on networking I know of, however, and it deserves to survive to a third edition, in which Tanenbaum will hopefully bring it more into line with reality in this regard.

 Proudly Serving My Corporate Masters: The Votemaster is Andrew Tanenbaum
This morning the "Votemaster", the brains behind the popular (and leftward-leaning, although scrupulously fair in its numbers) Electoral Vote Predictor website, revealed that his true identity was Andrew Tanenbaum, noted computer scientist, author, and programmer.
I used Tanenbaum's Operating Systems book in a class in college, and I have been following the EV Predictor site daily.
This is one of those strange moments when two paths intersect completely unexpectedly.

 BBC - h2g2 - Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of quarter-inch tapes
(It's been said the quote appears in Andrew Tanenbaum's book Computer Networks, Editions 1-3 from Prentice-Hall, 1988.)
This prompted someone, probably Andrew Tanenbaum as he's well known for his wit, to make the observation that a station wagon has a lot of bandwidth.
There's an often cited quote, usually expressed as "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tape" (somtimes as "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway") that's attributed to Andrew Tanenbaum although sometimes to a Warren Jackson (Director, Computer Science University of Toronto).

 LWN: A followup from Andrew Tanenbaum
Linux generally use it because they want a production-quality operating system.
Tanenbaum has a copy of the book already.
They apparently claimed that if he had sold 500 fewer books as a result of Linux then it cost the publishers $1,000,000.
