FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium and Athlon), amd64 compatible (including Opteron, Athlon64, and EM64T), UltraSPARC, IA-64, PC-98 and ARM architectures. It ... [More] is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development. [Less]

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 ... [More] symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive multitasking, high POSIX compliancy, 64-bit 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]

DragonFly is an operating system and environment originally based on FreeBSD. DragonFly is developing a radically different approach to concurrency, SMP, and most other kernel subsystems. DragonFly ... [More] belongs to the same class of operating system as BSD and Linux and is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs. [Less]

The HelenOS project is an effort to develop a complete and usable modern operating system, yet offering room for experimenting and research. HelenOS uses its own microkernel written from scratch and ... [More] supports SMP, multitasking and multithreading on both 32-bit and 64-bit, little-endian and big-endian processor architectures, among which are AMD64/EM64T (x86-64), ARM, IA-32, IA-64 (Itanium), 32-bit MIPS, 32-bit PowerPC, SPARC V9 and Xen 3.0. Thanks to the relatively high number of supported architectures and suitable design, HelenOS is extremely-well portable. [Less]

AuroraUX is an operating system distribution based on the OpenSolaris kernel source base. The goal of the AuroraUX project is to create a high reliability core operating system using the US Department ... [More] of Defense-developed Ada programming language. While it is meant to be minimalistic and used as a base for other distributions, it will also be functional as an operating system in itself. #auroraux @ irc.freenode.net [Less]

CleanOS is an operating system developed for educational purposes, initially to be an userspace GNU/Linux application running its executables and simulating the operating system task scheduler and IPC mechanisms, perhaps later a true kernel.
