Open Source Operating System Kernels

Super GRUB2 Disk helps you to boot into most any Operating System (OS) even if you cannot boot into it by normal means.

Tools and plugins related to bart's PEBuilder

Committed to the development of fundamental ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) components for Linux. This includes a generic ACPI table parser, AML interpreter, bus and device drivers, policy, user interface, and support tools.

fast single-privilege single-address-space preemptive-multithreading persistent data-centric secure multiuser operating system with safe-language and reconfigurable graphical interface

With this project I intend to write a really, really simple OS, just for fun and learning. I think I will never have a really usable version, as I said, that's no my objective.

Perix is a 16/32/64-Bit protected mode kernel, bootable and capable of running with or without an operating system. It is written in Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS, Delphi 7.0, Pascal Pro, Virtual Pascal v2.1, Delphi XE2 64-Bit, TASM, TASM32 and JWASM. The latest version, 0.01I, supports multi-processor. Added Open Watcom C++ and Borland C++ examples.

Cloudium OS is being written in pure ASM. It's designed for speed and ease, having cloud computing in mind. It also is secure (without requiring constant user input like Windows). But, how are we going to do this? Well every os wants/says these kind of things, so to accomplish our goals we follow these simple rules: keep it simple (that's way better then these complex interfaces etc. almost nobody wants), generalize (this makes things easier and more useful without extra complexity) and be inventive (sometimes doing it the classical way just doesn't work). Note: development peace will be temporarily lowered until February the fifth. Please check out our OS and Project site!

The FDOS Operaing System is 100% written in Assembler (NASM). It supports FAT 12, TSR and a small Multi Kernel System. The source is very good documentated (only in English). A German, russian and English Documentation (about 40 pages) are included.

ncurOS is a very secure OS, which is based on an UNIX (maybe linux) kernel. Many system tools are integrated in the kernel. All of these tools are written with ncurses. All ncurOS-developers follow a coding standard.

Agnix is an educational, network operating system kernel. It is ideal starting point to learn about operating systems. The main goal of the project is to provide a network kernel fully compatible with the Linux Kernel in the system call layer

The Banana Kernel is an open-source pedagogical operating system intended to provide useful means for teaching basic OS concepts, with the possibility of interaction with external modules developed by the teacher or student.

Covert Linux is technology of instalation for Linux without repartition the disk and running from native system, e.g. you can install Linux from ,say, Windows by grabbing some SETUP.EXE, launching it and then clicking on desktop icon.

Fortress OS is an open source modern multitasking operating system. Intel IA-32 386 compatibility. Fortress is clean implemented from scratch. Fortress is still in early stage ( current state at the end of plan 2 ) and needs huge work.

THIS PROJECT IS INACTIVE!!

A Unix-like (Not compleatly Unix-compatible) Kernel. Right now, we have (very limited support) of 80486+ IBM-PC AT compatibles. Written in C, and assembly. No network support planned for the forseeable future.

Minerva's primary goal is security. To allow all users to feel safe and secure but have the freedom to do what ever they want. We also want a fast easy way to bring every linux and windows o/s together.

MinopsOS is a tiny operating system for PC computers. It's small enough to fit inside the boot sector of a floppy disk.

MuOS is a Operating System for x86-compatible hardware.

Utilitário para criação e edição de imagens de disquete. Ele efetua gravações por setor (dados a cabeça e o cilindro). É útil especialmente para a criação de imagens de boot.

Nemesis is a tiny real time operating system kernel based on x86 PCs. Its main purpose is to serve as a simple but realistic example of an real time OS kernel running on real hardware..the purpose of this is that it can be embedded in small devices lik

NewOS - Yet another operating system.

POSYS: Programmers Operating SYStem. A small, fast, dynamic, secure OS project. (In development) Language: NASM + CC386.

SimplicityOS is a project designed to create a simple but powerful operating system for the pc. The kernel was designed from scrath to create a fast and stable base. The filsystem used by SimplicityOS was also designed from scratch for stability.

I have developed and tested a small 32-bits Kernel running on i386. I want to share it to this developers community. The kernel is developed in Assebly Language and it have bootloader, multitask, etc, etc...

This is the fifth or sixth generation of this idea, the big difference being that we have written some bootloader code and have started mapping out the kernel layout and structure. We have decided upon a core programming language for the kernel, and the core language for almost everything else. With a focus on isolating the MAJOR kernel features from the system itself, in what until now has remained research only instances, we hope to create a fully functioning exokerne. All code at this time will be available only via a git repository.
