Andrew Stuart Tanenbaum (born March 16, 1944), sometimes referred to by the handle ast, is an American-Dutch computer scientist and professor emeritus of computer science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He is best known as the author of MINIX, a free Unix-like operating system for teaching purposes, and for his computer science textbooks, regarded as standard texts in the field.
His paternal grandfather was born in Khorostkiv in the Austro-Hungarian empire. He received his bachelor of Science degree in Physics from MIT in 1965 and his Ph.D.
degree in astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1971.
It was started sometime before 1981 and Andrew Tanenbaum was the architect from the start until version 5.5. ===MINIX=== In 1987, Tanenbaum wrote a clone of UNIX, called MINIX (MINi-unIX), for the IBM PC.
Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award Coauthor of the 1984 ACM SOSP Distinguished Paper Award ===Honorary doctorates=== On May 12, 2008, Tanenbaum received an [doctorate] from Universitatea Politehnica din București.

On October 5, 1991, Torvalds announced his own (POSIX-like) kernel, called Linux, which originally used the MINIX file system but is not based on MINIX code. Although MINIX and Linux have diverged, MINIX continues to be developed, now as a production system as well as an educational one.
Since 2004 he has operated Electoral-vote.com, a website dedicated to analysis of polling data in federal elections in the United States. ==Biography== Tanenbaum was born in New York City and grew up in suburban White Plains, New York.
These projects include: Amoeba Globe Mansion Orca Paramecium RFID Guardian Turtle F2F ===Electoral-vote.com=== In 2004, Tanenbaum created Electoral-vote.com, a web site analyzing opinion polls for the 2004 U.S.
They were especially working on problems in advanced computer systems such as parallel computing and image analysis and processing. Tanenbaum remained dean for 12 years, until 2005, when he was awarded an Academy Professorship by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, at which time he became a full-time research professor.
