.... Minix 3    ;-)

See http://www.minix3.org/ for the lowdown. 

Quote:
What Is MINIX 3?
"MINIX 3 is a new open-source operating system designed to be highly
reliable, flexible, and secure. It is 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 4000 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."

Not affiliated in any way - blah, blah.

Anybody seem it yet?
