Linux is a free software kernel, which combined with the GNU libraries, core utils and shell form the GNU/Linux operating system.

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.

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.

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]

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]
