The V operating system (sometimes written V-System) is a discontinued microkernel distributed operating system that was developed by faculty and students in the Distributed Systems Group at Stanford University from 1981 to 1988, led by Professors David Cheriton and Keith A. Lantz.[1] V was the successor to the Thoth operating system and Verex kernel that Cheriton had developed in the 1970s.[2][3] Despite similar names and close development dates, it is unrelated to UNIX System V.
