Review of Other Operating Systems


This page is under constant construction.
Please help me enrich it, by sending annotations to existing pointers, new pointers, and the usual feedback.

Please tell me about any other interesting pointer you know, that may relate somehow (anyhow) to the Tunes project...


Contents

This index favors original and research operating systems. In each category, systems are listed in alphabetical order.

  • OSes proper

  • OS Related pointers

    Of course, do not forget languages that are another side of computing systems.


    Original OS Projects


    Unix akins and likes


    Commercial OSes


    OS Related Pointers

  • Indices about OSes and related subjects:

  • Here are pointers to threads packages:
  • Here are pointers to packages for distributed/parallel computing:
  • Here are some research laboratories interested in operating systems (send me more addresses):
  • Here are some sources of inspiration for people developping a 32-bit OS on PC's:
  • Other OS projects you could join:
    Of course, I'd encourage you to join Tunes if you are looking for a deep rethinking of an OS, VSTa if you like custom microkernel-based message passing, GNU HURD if you like the new wave for computer tradition, Linux if you like the old traditional unixish approach. Also, GGI might interest those who like video tweaking. But if none of these please you, if you like doing things from almost scratch, here are projects that might interest you (in alphabetical order):
  • Hardware information
    Efficiency-aware OS implementors must have some idea of how the underlying hardware behaves.

  • Other OS-related pages


    More netsurfing

  • The Tunes project that hosts this page may interest you, or
  • this collection of FTP addresses

    And remember, the "OS" side is only one side of the medal. Also look at the Language side.
