# MinC Is Not Cygwin
MinC was written to help children at vocational education
learn Linux without the hassle of virtualization. It runs
on Windows NT, version 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8/10/11.
MinC has a tiny kernel emulation (285Kb) which runs on
Windows. The rest of the software was taken verbatim from
OpenBSD, version 6.1. This means that by installing MinC,
you run OpenBSD on your Windows machine at native speed.
I wanted the kernel emulation to be as simple as possible,
so unexperienced programmers can contribute to the project.
The project has already been discussed on Hacker News, but
I plan to do a write-up with the design decisions I made.
If you want to build the MinC system yourself, read the
BUILD.md document.
