Projects

Debian GNU/Linux

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

FreeBSD

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, (32-bit and 64-bit) MIPS and ARM architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of ... [More] California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development. [Less]

OpenSolaris

OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around the Solaris Operating System technology.

NetBSD

NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from 64-bit Opteron machines and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research ... [More] environments, and it is user-supported with complete source. Many applications are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages Collection. [Less]

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.

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.

illumos

A community derivative of the OS/Net consolidation from OpenSolaris.

HelenOS

HelenOS is a microkernel-based multiserver operating system designed from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality into many isolated, intensively communicating server processes that reside entirely in user space. HelenOS thus provides a computing environment that has several ... [More] virtues, such as flexibility, increased robustness, well defined explicit interfaces and reduced complexity of individual components as compared to other operating systems. HelenOS runs on seven different processor architectures, ranging from a 32-bit uniprocessor little-endian ARMv4 to a 64-bit multicore big-endian UltraSPARC T1. [Less]

Nexenta

Nexenta Operating System is a free and open source operating system combining the OpenSolaris kernel with GNU application userland. Nexenta Operating System runs on Intel/AMD 32/64bit hardware and is distributed as a single installable CD. Upgrades and binary packages not included on the CD can be ... [More] installed from NexentaOS repository using Advanced Packaging Tool. In addition, source based software components can be downloaded from network repositories available at Debian/GNU Linux and Ubuntu Linux. [Less]

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]
