Open Source Server Operating Systems Operating System Kernels

Contiki is an open source, highly portable, networked, multi-tasking operating system for memory-constrained systems. Contiki current source code: https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki Contiki historical source code: https://github.com/adamdunkels/contiki-1.x

ChibiOS/RT is a free and efficient RTOS designed for deeply embedded applications. It offers a comprehensive set of kernel primitives and supports many architectures: ARM7, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, PowerPC e200z, STM8, AVR, MSP430, ColdFire, H8S, x86.

Cooperative Linux is the first method for optimally running Linux on Windows and other operating systems natively. It is a port of the Linux kernel and support code that allows it to run cooperatively without emulation along with another operating system.

A Linux operating system, designed and developed to be beautiful, simple, fast, and stable on many computer hardware.

7-max increases the performance of some applications up to 10-20%. Windows uses small (4 KB) RAM pages by default. 7-max allows to use large (2 MB) RAM pages.

Syllable Desktop is a complete operating system that is easy to use, powerful, lightweight and extraordinarily fast and responsive. It has its own kernel, filesystem, GUI and applications. Syllable Server is a matching small and efficient Linux server.

UUMATE is a respin of Ubuntu Mate (https://ubuntu-mate.org/) The main goal of this project is simple: Just have an updated Ubuntu Mate 64bit ready to install, with full multimedia support, compiz, many extra applications and some cosmetic changes. Many PPAs/Repos already available. Event sounds (minimize, maximize, close, etc...) enabled by default you can enable/disable compiz using "mate-tweak"! No need to download hundred megabytes after installation! Note: To burn the ISO to a USB stick, use "dd" command. In MS Windows use Rufus. This ISO is helpful for people trying to install linux for the first time or coming from windows environment. It has plenty of software pre installed (some are trial/shareware) with full internet and multimedia support. Very useful as live media as well. It has audio/video codecs, flashplayer, java, googletalk, telegram, twitter, etc... Changelog: http://sourceforge.net/p/uumate/blog

This project reimplements from scratch the RPL language made popular by HP programmable calculators, in portable C/C++. The main goal is to release a complete computing environment for various targets. There's currently 4 active targets: the HP 50g, HP39gs and HP40gs calculators and a PC simulator (see the downloads section!). Other ports are planned for the future.

TempleOS is a 64-bit kernel with compiler, graphics library and tools. It is not a Unix. It was made from scratch.

Open Source SW/HW Project for Embedded Ethernet Applications. Works with AVR ATmega256/128/103, AVR32, SAM7X, SAM7S(E), SAM9, AT91X40, GameBoy Advance, Cortex M3 / M4 (STM32, NXP LPC, LM3S), Freescale Coldfire, RTL8019AS, LAN91C111, CS8900 and DM9000E chips. Offers a tiny TCP/IP stack including HTTP, FTP and DHCP.

Clicker is a project for a Multitasking Open-source operating system written from scratch. based on a modular micro kernel. We want to explore new way of designing and using OSes :) [newz: PCI, NE2K and VBE]

ELKS is a subset of the Linux kernel that runs on IBM compatible PCs from 8086 up. It is intended to get use out of obsolete old hardware, for use in embedded systems, and as an educational tool. ELKS has been moved to Github to protest SourceForge's installer adware hijacking. This does not directly affect ELKS, but it does affect many major open source projects such as Gimp and FileZilla by attempting to trick the user into installing adware in order to download these programs. I refuse to leave ELKS here with such policies in effect. If you have questions about this, please email jody@c02ware.com.

JNode is a Java New Operating system Design Effort. JNode is a simple to use and install Java operating system for personal use on modern devices. Any java application runs on it, fast and safe. See our homepage for additional information.

Haiku is an open-source operating system currently in development designed from the ground up for desktop computing.

BrickOS is an alternative software environment for the LEGO(r) Mindstorms Robotic Invention System. The intent is to allow developers to write C and/or C++ code for the RIS platform.

Native Oberon Operating System

Public Domain Operating System (currently x86 and 80386 and S/370 and S/390). Note that latest source code is here in git, but latest executables and packaged source are at http://pdos.org

*** Genode migrated to https://github.com/genodelabs/genode *** The Genode OS Framework is a tool kit for building highly secure special-purpose operating systems. It scales from embedded systems with as little as 4 MB of memory to highly dynamic general-purpose workloads. Genode is based on a recursive system structure. Each program runs in a dedicated sandbox and gets granted only those access rights and resources that are needed for its specific purpose. Programs can create and manage sub-sandboxes out of their own resources, thereby forming hierarchies where policies can be applied at each level. The framework provides mechanisms to let programs communicate with each other and trade their resources, but only in strictly-defined manners. Thanks to this rigid regime, the attack surface of security-critical functions can be reduced by orders of magnitude compared to contemporary operating systems.

TomOS is a simple 16 bit operating system for x86. It is based on MikeOS version 2.0.0. It is entirely written in the assembly language. TomOS is an educational project.

BlueLinux is a Northern Ireland based 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. Being an Open Source project without

A multitasking, multithreaded operating system designed for SMP systems and developed based on the X/Open Single Unix Specifications Version 3.0.

kissme is a free (GPLed) Java Virtual Machine. It is being developed on GNU/Linux and can run console java applications. kissme is to be used with the GNU Classpath java class library. kissme also provides support for orthogonally persistent java.

O BRLix é um projeto que visa atender aos usuários de Desktop que possuem dificuldade em utilizar as interfaces gráficas atuais do Linux. Com uma interface já conhecida, e aplicativos que facilitam o trabalho, diminui-s.e a curva de aprendizado e torna-se amigável a utilização de um GNU/Linux por um usuário Leigo. The Brlix is a project to help users who have difficulty using the current Linux graphical interfaces.
