MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on ... [More] Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the following significant features: * Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer sound cards to ... [More] professional multichannel audio interfaces. * Fully modularized sound drivers. * SMP and thread-safe design. * User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming and provide higher level functionality. * Support for the older Open Sound System (OSS) API, providing binary compatibility for most OSS programs.

Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.

OProfile is a low-overhead, transparent profiler for Linux. It is capable of instruction-grain profiling of all processes, shared libraries, the kernel, and device drivers, via the hardware performance counters.

The AROS Research Operating System is a lightweight, efficient and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1 at ... [More] the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it. [Less]

SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go ... [More] through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data. SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language for writing instrumentation for a live running kernel. We are publishing samples, as well as enlarging the internal "tapset" script library to aid reuse and abstraction. We also plan to support probing userspace applications. We are investigating interfacing Systemtap with similar tools. [Less]

Free implementation of ELKS library.

Bringing Linux to the Embedded World. We hack Palm handhelds.

The user-mode kernel port is a port of the Linux kernel which runs in a set of processes. The result is a user-mode virtual machine and a kernel which can be debugged and developed using all of the usual process-level tools.

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 ... [More] 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]

The SharpOS Project is a community effort to write an operating system in .NET, with a strong sense of security and managability. Please note that the GPLv3 license includes the Classpath Linking Exception.

HiveMind is an services and configuration microkernel. Its features are also referred to as Inversion of Control (IoC) Container or Lightweight Container.

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.

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 supports SMP, multitasking and multithreading on ... [More] 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]

µClinux is a Linux distribution like any other Linux distribution, focused on embedded projects, built from the Linux kernel from kernel.org and assorted other packages, and software from the GNU project. Since µClinux is optimized for size, it ... [More] uses more compact alternatives (busybox, µclibc, etc) than a non-embedded distribution. Pronounced "you-see-linux", the name µClinux comes from combining the greek letter "mu" and the english capital "C". "µ" stands for "micro", and the "C" is for "controller". µClinux supports embedded processors which support MMU (protection and virtual memory support), noMMU (no protection, no virtual memory) and MPU (memory protection, but no virtual memory support). The µClinux-dist includes userspace apps & libs, toolchain, c library, kernel and Bootloader. [Less]
