LSX Unix Restoration page edit / delete

"For a very long time, the smallest Unix system for the PDP-11 compatible machines - LSX, adapted from Unix V6 by Dr. Heinz Lycklama - was feared lost because it was never officially released outside of Bell Labs and nobody bothered to keep it for posterity." Now they have.

Xv6, a simple Unix-like teaching operating system edit / delete

The teaching OS for MIT's operating systems course -- which is taught by Russ Cox, Frans Kaashoek and Robert Morris, so it's probably safe to say that the authors know what they're talking about! This is a cleaned-up Unix v6 -- contrast with v7x86, which is a modernised Unix v7.
