BeOS
– BeOS is an operating system for personal computers first developed by Be
Inc. in 1991. It was first written to run on BeBox hardware. BeOS was built for
digital media work and was written to take advantage of modern hardware
facilities such as symmetric multiprocessing by utilizing modular I/O bandwidth,
pervasive multithreading, preemptive multitasking and a 64-bit journaling file
system known as BFS. The BeOS GUI was developed on the principles of clarity
and a clean, uncluttered design.
– The API was written in C++ for ease of programming. It has
partial POSIX compatibility and access to a command-line
interface through Bash, although internally it is not a Unix-derived operating
system.
BeOS
Hardware Requirements
– A Pentium-based computer
– at least 32 megabytes of RAM (P90 or higher is
recommended).
– At least 512 megabytes of free disk space on a non-
compressed FAT, FAT32, or NTFS drive.
– A blank floppy disk

ChibiOS/RT
– ChibiOS/RT is a compact and fast real-time operating system supporting
multiple architectures and released under the GPL3 license. It is the high
performance RTOS part of the ChibiOS/RT embedded collection. RT has been
designed with the idea of creating a very feature-complete RTOS that could
excel in performance and code size. It is developed by Giovanni Di Sirio.
– One of the most strong points of the RT kernel is the extremely high
performance in realtime-related parameters like context switch time and ISR
latency. The performance is not just matter of well written code, a series
of design solutions make RT the fastest RTOS for deeply embedded
applications.
ChibiOS/RT
Hardware Requirements
– Efficient instruction set for linked lists traversal. The kernel makes extensive use
of simple and bidirectional linked lists so the performance is directly affected by
the supported addressing modes, number of registers etc.
– Uniformly sized C pointers.
– 2KiB RAM.
– 16KiB ROM/Flash.

FreeBSD Project

– FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers,

desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has
continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced
networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD
the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and
most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
– FreeBSD is said to be fast, stable, and especially appropriate for
use as an Internet server or as a file server. FreeBSD supports all
major X Window desktops, such as KDE and GNOME.
FreeBSD Project
Hardware Requirements
– A FreeBSD installation requires a minimum of 96 MB of
RAM and 1.5 GB of free hard drive space. However, such
small amounts of memory and disk space are really only

sole purpose of using it to access your Jolicloud desktop, with the
added bonus that you can also access files stored on your hard
drive as well as in the cloud.
– There’s a standalone ISO file (choose the Linux option above) that
you can download, burn to disc and then use to install Joli OS on a
computer with no operating system. For the rest of us, however,
the Windows installer does just fine. It installs Joli OS into its own
folder on your boot drive, then adds an option to boot into Joli OS
to the Windows boot menu.

Nemesis
– Nemesis is an operating system designed by the University of
Cambridge, the University of Glasgow, the Swedish Institute of Computer
Science and Citrix Systems.
– Nemesis was conceived with multimedia uses in mind. In
a microkernel environment, an application is typically implemented by a
number of processes, most of which are servers performing work on
behalf of more than one client. This leads to enormous difficulty in
accounting for resource usage. In a kernel-based system, multimedia
applications spend most of their time in the kernel, leading to similar
problems.
Nemesis
Hardware Requirements
– Processor: Intel Pentium III / AMD Athlon MP.
– Graphics: AMD Mobility Radeon 7500 64MB or NVIDIA
GeForce 2 MX 400 64MB.

Opal
– The Opal project is exploring a new operating system structure, tuned to the
needs of complex applications, such as CAD/CAM, where a number of
cooperating programs manipulate a large shared persistent database of objects.
In Opal, all code and data exists with in a single, huge, shared address space.
The single address space enhances sharing and cooperation, because addresses
have a unique (for all time) interpretation. Thus, pointer-based data structures
can be directly communicated and shared between programs at any time, and
can be stored directly on secondary storage without the need for translation.
This structure is simplified by the availability of a large address space, such as
those provided by the DEC Alpha, MIPS, HP/PA-RISC, IBM RS6000, and future
Intel processors.

TempleOS
– TempleOS was characterized as a modern x86-64 Commodore 64, using an
interface similar to a mixture of DOS and Turbo C. Davis proclaimed that the
system's features, such as its 640x480 resolution, 16-color display and single
audio voiceIt was programmed with an original variation of C (named HolyC) in
place of BASIC, and included an original flight simulator, compiler and kernel.
– TempleOS has been built from the ground up with what seems like no hang-ups
on existing operating systems. The entire thing is hyperlinked, meaning you can
quickly burrow down to the source of a program just as easily as you can find its
dependencies, and it's super-quick; there's no paging, so the whole OS gets up
and running within a second or two.
