dc.description.abstract	The DISTRIX operating system is a multiprocessor UNIX-like distributed operating system. It consists of a number of satellite processors connected to central servers. The system is based on the MINIX operating system, which is in turn based in UNIX Version 7. A remote procedure calling interface is used in conjunction with a system wide, end-to-end communications protocol that connects satellite processors to the central servers. A cached file server provides access to all files and devices at the UNIX system call level. The design of the file server is discussed in depth and the performance evaluated.	en
