...HelenOS does not aim to be a clone of any existing operating system and trades compatibility with legacy APIs for cleaner design. Most of HelenOS components have been made to order specifically for HelenOS so that its essential parts can stay free of adaptation layers, glue code, franken-components and the maintenance burden incurred by them.

Following to the end of the 32bit version of PCLinuxOS, a consistent number of users have lost an important possibility to keep their machines on work.Old hardware often doesn’t support 64bit, often cannot face a complete reinstallation for any reason, surely a 64bit system is heavier than the correspondent 32bit.Therefore, once acknowledged what was going to happen, a (very, very) small group of alleged developers started the present project in order to maintain alive that distro. They had to save the last updated repo, to improve what happened thereafter in the 64bit version and to recompile that in 32bit.So said it doesn’t look hard but when recompiling is made on several hundreds of packages by 2 or 3 persons of goodwill, it becomes a considerable job.A job that doesn’t finish because a very strenght of pclos is in being a rolling distribution and Uplos aspires as well to be ever on progress.Since we have a special consideration for old hardware,we started with light DE.

...It will also have fined-tuned firewall capabilities, with a default policy of deny all inbound except HTTP HTTPS and SSH. Web browser will be sand boxed from other parts of the OS. In order to access saved passwords, cache, cookies, ect in web browser, username/password are required. Downloaded files (and any other files entering the system) will be subjected to both an exception-based and signature-based virus scan. After that, they will be placed in a leveled security storage space, each more secure--with the most secure being 50. ...

A challenging project that attempts to get a Linux distro to run under Google's NaCl. NaCl untime environment is very different from traditional posix systems. There is several hurdles to overcome in order to get a standard linux distribution to run under NaCl. There is a library called nacl_io in the Google NaCl sdk. It mimics the function of a posix files and sockets on top of ppapi. Similarly in naclports there is a crude nacl-spawn library which mimics processes by creating multiple nacl modules with javascript acting as a sort of "kernel". ...
