Its slogan "We know Unix™ backwards and forwards" is an allusion to the company's name and abilities.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
mt Xinu offered several products:
- mt Xinu was a commercially licensed version of the BSD Unix operating system for the DEC VAX. The initial version was based on 4.1cBSD; later versions were based on 4.2 and 4.3BSD.
- more/BSD is mt Xinu's version of 4.3BSD-Tahoe for VAX and HP 9000, incorporating code from the University of Utah's HPBSD. It includes NFS.
- Mach386 is a hybrid of Mach 2.5/2.6 and 4.3BSD-Tahoe/Reno for 386 and 486-based IBM PC compatibles.
mt Xinu produced interoperability software for Macintosh and Unix, including an AppleShare server for Unix.<ref>"Mt Xinu ships Appleshare for HP workstations. InfoWorld, 10 September 1990, p. 51.</ref>
The company's principals were University of California, Berkeley computer science students and graduates, including Bob Kridle, Alan Tobey, Ed Gould, and Vance Vaughan. Debbie Scherrer was a later contributor.
mt Xinu made light-hearted Unix-themed calendars, including:
- Command of the Month (1987–1988)
- Lessons in Art (1989)
- Platform of the Year (1990)
A division of mt Xinu spawned Xinet, which was founded in 1991.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
