mint-os

MintBSD-licensed C++ Operating SystemA fresh look at what an Operating System should be. PhilosophyMint's philosophy can be summed up with a few lines. It's about function and form in harmony... It's about the beautity of good implimentation... It's not what works, but what works ... [More] best in the broadest context... GoalMint's goal is to be a very simple and clean C++ operating system. Ideal for students or those who just want to learn. All portability, compatibility, etc. are sacrafised toward this end. This is done so that Mint is not bound by the concepts of prior systems, and when bound it is bound as little as possible. However, the plan is to provide wrappers and support code later to make up for this in areas such as POSIX compliance. Coding Guidelines [Less]

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]

hurricaneos

A (currently) hobby OS written in Haskell

zenoronos

The ZenoronOS project aims at creating a distributed operating system. It's a learning-by-doing hobby project, with no intent to become "useful" to a broader public. The general idea is to have a distributed, location-independent operating system. Portions of the operating system may ... [More] be run on remote hosts, enabling a terminal/mainframe set up. Classical all-local set ups are also possible. To facilitate the implementation of the distributed architecture, a service-oriented approach will be used, thus decoupling individual OS components, and making them pluggable. In such a scenario, the OS is highly configurable, enabling substitution of components, or even addition/removal of components (possibly even at runtime), thus having a dynamic feature set. [Less]

odin-os-project

Source code for a Unix based Operating System, codename Odin.

tronixos

TRONIX will be a small, elegant and fast UNIX-like Hybrid-Kernel for x86 based Computers. It will support asynchronous IPC, paging, minix filesystem support, ELF-support and virtual memory.

operating-system

The name itself tells operating system similar to windows. It should be in C++ using graphics.
