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.

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

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

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 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]

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 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.

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

A port of the Linux kernel and tools to the iPod.

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]

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.

MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for ia32 and amd64/emt64 computers. It uses GNUstep and related software to provide an easy to use environment.

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]

KolibriOS is an open source operating system with a monolithic preemptive, real-time kernel, video drivers, for 32-bit x86 architecture computers, developed and maintained by The KolibriOS Project Team. KolibriOS is a fork of MenuetOS, written entirely in assembly language.

Xerxys is a project to create an operating system that is highly secure and portable through the following aspects: - No application is executed directly on the CPU, but through a Virtual Machine (currently Java compliant) - The system is as ... [More] abstract as possible to ensure the high portability - The system will support data security and high encryption from the beginning Xerxys has an own Java VM implementation, called Xam and an own Java Library called Corepath (which are separate projects). [Less]

JingleOS is a community operating system for embedded devices which aims to achieve dependability by design, as well as intrinsic real time support. It can be used on ARM and x86 systems although, due to Java programming language, it might be easily ported to others architectures.

CleanOS is an operating system developed for educational purposes, initially to be an userspace GNU/Linux application running its executables and simulating the operating system task scheduler and IPC mechanisms, perhaps later a true kernel.

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 ... [More] achieved by keeping features away, but by letting features be deactivateable, so the user can remove all features which he does not want. [Less]

Toro es un kernel creado íntegramente en Pascal utilizando el compilador FreePascal. Su escritura comenzó a finales del año 2003 por Matias E. Vara usando un nucleo monolítico. Implementa la mayoría de las funciones de los sistemas operativos modernos.

Kernel originally port of the old GOSOT project (now discontinued), now is completely independent and able to do most of the things a kernel is expected to do. Comes with a personalized set of tools and libraries that makes it easy to expand following the original structure.

SuíteTelecentro é uma customização da distribuição Debian GNU/Linux para utilização em telecentros. Ela permite o aproveitamento de computadores de baixa configuração como terminais através do uso do servidor LTSP. Através dessa ... [More] tecnologia, um telecentro precisa apenas de uma máquina com melhor configuração de processador e memória, na qual todos os softwares utilizados serão executados. Dessa forma, os computadores menos potentes servem apenas de interface, ou seja, funcionam como simples estações. [Less]

Symmetry is a small operating system written in C++. It aims to be platform independent and very fast. It currently has support just for the basic functions needed to run a computer - the GDT, IDT, and paging, as well as dynamic memory management and a simple virtual file system (VFS).

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 ... [More] hybrid kernel. One of the main goals in Quarn 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]
