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]

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]

PearPC - PowerPC Emulator

PearPC is a platform-independent PowerPC architecture emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems. It includes a Just- In-Time compiler for x86 processors.

Hardware Lister (lshw)

lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) ... [More] systems and on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work). [Less]

Arch Linux PPC

Arch Linux PPC is a port of the popular Arch Linux operating system from the i686/x86_64 platform(s) to the PowerPC platform. Current support is aimed primarily at the G3/G4 and EFIKA series processors. POWER support could be viable if a testing machine was available but none currently exists so it is not supported.
