What
MentOS, which stands for Mentoring OS, is an open source educational Operating System.
Goal
The goal of MentOS is to provide a project environment that is realistic enough to show how a real Operating System work, yet simple enough that students can understand and modify it in significant ways.
Why
There are so many operating systems, why did we write MentOs?
It is true, there are a lot of education operating system, BUT how many of them follow the guideline defined by Linux?
MentOs aims to have the same Linux’s data structures and algorithms. It has a well-documented source code, and you can compile it on your laptopin a few seconds!
If you are a beginner in Operating-System developing, perhaps MentOS is the right operating system to start with.
