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]

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]

yasux

Yasux ("Yet another simple UNIX") is yet another simple UNIX written from scratch. Its aim is to be a Single UNIX Specification compliant operating system being simple, small in its size and having a source which is easy to understand. This is not achieved by keeping features away, but by ... [More] letting features be deactivateable, so the user can remove all features which he does not want. [Less]

Quarn OS

Quarn OS is an operating system written in C and x86 assembler. All its parts are distributed under terms of open source licenses (mainly GNU GPL v2 or later). Previously designed as monolithic kernel, currently aims at modified conception of hybrid kernel. One of the main goals in Quarn ... [More] development is to make it compatible with Single UNIX Specification, so it will be possible to execute programs written for other UNIX-like systems. Quarn OS uses additional subproject: Managed Execution System, which is used to provide universal interface. [Less]

thetas

Thetas is a microkernel based operating system, like Minix. The goal of the project is creating a new new OS, with some compatibility with Linux and POSIX systems. This will a small, secure and portable. See FAQ
