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]

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.

ReactOS

The ReactOS® project is a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP/2003 compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a ... [More] complete and equivalent public interface. Written completely from scratch, ReactOS is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the UNIX architecture. The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows® applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. [Less]

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.

AROS

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 the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while ... [More] 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]

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]

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]

uClinux-dist (ADI Blackfin distribution)

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 uses more compact alternatives (busybox, µclibc ... [More] , 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]

pmbsd

The Pigeon Mouette BSD project provides a FREE, multi-platform BSD UNIX-like operating system. PmBSD is 'what we think a BSD is' and was totally written from scratch. The only sources stolen by this project were stolen from OpenBSD and are a part of this website and the file sys/queue.h. ... [More] PmBSD is freely available from our mercurial repository. [Less]
