DragonFly BSD

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 belongs to the same class of operating system as BSD and Linux and is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs.

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]
