pintos

It's easier to see in the exploding Pintos and combustible Volkswagens.

The risk was NOT that because of this vulnerability, there was a chance that bad guys might go around ramming into Pintos to make them explode.

Limas, great northerns, black beans, and pintos in between.

I looked at the teaching kernels xv6 from MIT, and Pintos from Stanford.

(Welcome Toyota) Ford Pintos in the 1970s had badly under-designed gas tanks that ruptured and caused fires in rear-end collisions.

In my under grad class we had to build thread scheduling, sys calls, virtual memory, and some file system functionality on top of pintos.

I'm looking at the Stanford Pintos kernel and MIT xv6 kernel.

But you'll be competing in that unregulated market with Pintos with a consumer base full of people willing to take the risk of driving in a Pinto instead of a Bentley they can't afford anyways.

(I've seen estimates as high as 900 people killed in Pintos that way.

We're in the middle of doing some exercises in pintos for school (it's a toy operating system where you're supposed to implement part of the functionality) and I can really recommend the code in it.

Stanford has Pintos, Purdue has Xinu, CMU has their own and so on.

Our school used Pintos, a derivative of Nachos.

If you are also interested in OS development, Stanford has developed Pintos[1] which is designed to teach OS concepts: threads, system calls (and the security thereof), virtual memory and filesystems.
