Pardus Linux

Pardus is a GNU/Linux distribution developed by BTE/TUBITAK according to computer literates' basic desktop needs; uses existing distributions' dominant parts as concept, architecture or code; provides easy use, configuration, installation with configuration environment and tools that can be converted to an autonomous system.

Source Mage GNU/Linux

Source Mage is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a Sorcery metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" programs, which we refer to as "spells", and a package manager called "Sorcery". Our packages are designed to allow the user to customize the package ... [More] any way they want (custom flags, etc.) as well as offering as many of the package options as possible to the user up-front (you will not need to know what options a package has or what optional dependencies it can use ahead of time). All of our scripts are GPL'd and our package manager and packages are written in bash, so they are easy to learn and modify. Sorcery supports custom packages maintained by users, which can override the default package and will never be touched by updates. The magic is truly in your hands with SourceMage. [Less]

aptosid

aptosid (formerly sidux) is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, Debian's most modern branch (called "Sid") and many free and open source applications.

Syllable operating system family

The goal of the Syllable project is to create a family of easy-to-use free software operating systems. It is the continuation of the BeOS-like AtheOS. Syllable Desktop has its own C kernel with symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive multitasking, high POSIX compliancy, 64-bit ... [More] journaled filesystem (AFS) with metadata, an integrated native GUI architecture with an object-oriented C++ API, SDL, singular native toolkit and multi-user desktop environment. The system seeks to be an integrated, lightweight, easy-to-program, powerful, high-performance graphical desktop environment which avoids legacy OS paradigms that frustrate developers and have hindered the computing masses' adoption of a free-software desktop. Syllable Server is a matching small and efficient Linux server. [Less]

Dragora GNU/Linux

Dragora is a trustworthy GNU/Linux distribution based on the concept of simplicity with the goal of being a multi-purpose operating system. Dragora respects the freedom of the user with the values of free software and provides control to those who use it. It is developed entirely by volunteers and ... [More] it is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. [Less]

KaarPux

KaarPux is a Linux distribution, where everything is build (automatically) from source. KaarPux is aimed at developers who want to build and explore a Linux distribution, where they have complete control over the build process.

gibbix

gibbix is a package management system for GNU systems that utilizes widely available sources that are written for make. The only addition needed to the source archive is a list of dependencies. Otherwise, the package manager can handle nearly any source tar that is compressed with bzip2 or gzip. ... [More] gibbix's first usage is in the linux distribution AIOS (Advanced Input Output System). The package manager starts by unzipping the source archive, and placing it into /var/log/packages/foo, from that point it reads the dep file sequentially. For each read the package manager attempts to fetch the needed package via wget. If this is not possible the package manager exits (you can re-run without dep checking if you choose to). After all of the dependencies are checked, it will run ./configure if a configure script is found, execute make, and then "make install > /var/log/packages/foo/files.log" this makes it possible to later uninstall the program. In later versions, there is an aim to make it possible to uninstall unused dependencies as well. [Less]

SodaOS

Soda is a new Linux operating system aiming to do things differently. We like to try out new ideas, use unique and obscure software, and fiddle with fiddly bits. The development of the OS is still in it's early days and we've yet to carve a direct path of Soda. But, whatever the outcome is, it'll be good!

GNU-Darwin Distribution

GNU-Darwin aims to be the most free Darwin-based Unix distribution. Our mission is two-fold: focus on new projects that leverage the unique capabilities of Darwin/Mach, and help Apple users to enjoy the benefits of free software.

onyx-linux

ONYX GNU/Linux is a completely original, from-scratch Linux distribution available in both desktop and server flavors. It aims to provide a stable, resource-friendly, and aesthetically-pleasing environment that works 100% on all hardware out-of-box. ONYX is low-maintenance and engineered for ... [More] long "shelf life," making it the perfect long-term software solution. Following this stability and longevity model, ONYX will support each released version for a minimum of two years, only releasing critical driver and security update packages. ONYX is currently in Alpha stage, and is marked to reach Beta stage in Spring 2008. [Less]
