Some friends told me they ran into Andrew Tannenbaum at Embedded World a few years ago and asked him if he still believed that Minix was better than Linux. Apparently he said yes.

DISCLAIMER: 2nd hand story.

If I routinely had strangers coming up to me picking arguments about something argument I made decades before (always the same thing), I'd pretty quickly come up with the minimum necessary reply to end the interaction as well.

Leaving aside which OS is "better", if you have an Intel processor you are very likely running Minix right now!

Better for what? Tannenbaum is an educator and Minix an educational tool. It is arguably the better tool to teach operating systems.
