MtXinu

MtXinu

:"For the unrelated operating system with a similar name, see Xinu."

mtXinu (from the letters in Unix(TM), reversed) was a software company founded in 1983 that produced two operating systems.

"mtXinu" was a commercially licensed version of the BSD Unix operating system for the DEC VAX. The initial version was based on 4.1cBSD; later versions were based on 4.2 and 4.3BSD.

"more/BSD" was mtXinu's version of 4.3BSD-Tahoe for VAX and HP 9000, incorporating code from the University of Utah's HPBSD. It included NFS. "Mach386" was a hybrid of Mach 2.5/2.6 and 4.3BSD-Tahoe/Reno for 386 and 486 PCs.

The company's principals were University of California, Berkeley computer science students and graduates, notably Bob Kridle, Alan Tobey, Ed Gould, and Vance Vaughan. Debbie Scherrer was a later contributor.

mtXinu is also famous for its light-hearted Unix-themed calendars, including:

* "Command of the Month" (1987-1988)
* "Lessons in Art" (1989)
* "Platform of the Year" (1990)
