Jinx is a full desktop operating system that runs on old computers. Thanks to its amazingly small size, it can be used to reanimate computers for use in schools, libraries and educational institutions, where it can serve as a web browsing machine, word processing tool or OPAC catalog viewer.
Thanks to the fact that the jinx operating system copies itself into RAM and runs entirely in RAM, it is incredibly fast and responsive, and does not require a hard disk to store data.
It can easily be used by institutions as an internet browsing & word processing kiosk, which will revert to its previous state after rebooting, therefore minimizing system maintanence cost and effort.
