Projects

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too!

Kubuntu

Kubuntu is a a user friendly operating system based on KDE, the K Desktop Environment. With a predictable 6 month release cycle and part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu is the GNU/Linux distribution for everyone.

openSUSE Linux

The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, openSUSE.org provides free, easy access to the world's most usable Linux distribution, openSUSE. The openSUSE project gives Linux developers and enthusiasts everything they need to get started with Linux.

Mandriva Linux

Mandriva Linux is a community-based Linux distribution, suitable for a wide range of solutions: from clustering to servers, firewalls and - most commonly - desktops. Mandriva Linux has a long history of open development, especially via the "Cooker", a fluid distribution that resembles a stable release for a few weeks every six months.

ALT Linux

ALT Linux is a set of Linux distributions that are based on Sisyphus, an APT-enabled RPM package repository that aims to achieve feature completeness, usability, and security in a sensible and manageable mixture.

aptosid

aptosid (formerly sidux) is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, Debian's most modern branch (called "Sid") and many free and open source applications.

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]

PC-BSD

PC-BSD is a free operating system with ease of use in mind. Like any modern system, you can listen to your favorite music, watch your movies, work with office documents and install your favorite applications with a setup wizard at a click. PC-BSD is a complete desktop operating system, which has ... [More] been designed with the "casual" computer user in mind. It offers the stability and security that only a BSD-based operating system can bring, while as the same time providing a comfortable user experience, allowing you to get the most out of your computing time. With PC-BSD you can spend less time working to fix viruses or spyware and instead have the computer work for you. [Less]

Ark Linux

Ark Linux is a Linux distribution for everyone - designed to be easy to install and learn for users without prior Linux (or computer) experience, while powerful enough for longtime Linux users. Ark Linux is based on KDE desktop environment.

pwnos

PwnOS is an operating system being written from the ground up to be ideal for making the most of resource-rich dedicated server systems. The most significant section of the project is to create a core (kernel) that is designed to be best suited for servers (e.g. usually one process with many ... [More] threads of varying priorities). Much (highly-regulated) assembly language and some C is used here to increase the performance and decrease bloat potential, (because to code this in assembly, it's ESSENTIAL to have excellent, lean code design). Development of PwnOS will be switching to be done with PwnIDE once PwnIDE reaches version 0.2.4. Development so far has been done with RadASM and MASM32 for assembly, and Dev-C++ and MinGW for C/C++. Documentation is produced with Natural Docs. Custom linking is done with a utility called JLOC, and drive image writing is done with various utilities. To get in on the action, don't hesitate to contact me. Check out the official homepage for more info. Right now the boot loader's almost done, and intense work on the core is underway. Rock on! -Neil Dickson [Less]
