  • Apostle - Free microkernel operating system for i386 architecture, built on Gemini Nucleus, coded in C. Seeks to provide well-designed alternate to extant OSs; goal: create an OS that works because it is appropriate and effective for its users. [open source, GPL]
  • Gemini Nucleus - Open source project to make a production quality micro kernel based on the latest findings in OS research.
  • JTMOS - Operating system aimed at OS developers and users who are very advanced at using computers generally; microkernel, multitasking, multithreaded, some garbage collection. [Open Source]
  • Mika OS - Low-level coded, AI oriented microkernel OS, based on neural nets. Goal: provide a hight flexible OS architecture based on neural networks and sensor equipped devices. Mach4/Flux-based. [Open Source, GPL]
  • Moo32 - Early development microkernel.
  • NewOS - Loosely based on concepts in BeOS, FreeBSD, NT, Solaris, other modern OSs; goals: be as modern and complete as possible, emphasize platform portability; runs on x86 1, 2/4 SMP CPUs, Sega Dreamcast Hitachi SH-4. Kernel used in OpenBeOS. [Open Source, BSD]
  • Nimbus Project - Goal: create a next-generation open-source OS using novel techniques while being aimed at real world use.
  • OpenBLT - Message passing, threaded microkernel OS. Goal: mostly an experimental vehicle for playing with OS programming ideas that interest the (small) development team. Sudden, big changes are common. [Open Source]
  • ReactOS - Opensource effort to develop a quality operating system compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.
  • sMultiTA - World's smallest, but full functioning, software extension for MultiTAsking. Very small 200 lines, coded in C, simple, no interrupts or blocking, for hard realtime use; portable, easy to reconfigure to other systems. [Open Source, GPL]
  • SOBS: Stream and Object Based System - Operating system designed for high flexibility and modularity in design and usage. A stream-based OS has one premise: that all objects in a computer system, be they hardware, device drivers, programs, whatever, fundamentally operate in the exact same way. Very readable explanations, source and binary distributions.
  • WildMagnolia - Microkernel with small privileged nucleus providing processes, threads, IPC and synchronizing primitives. Modules added as separate processes in user-space. Unlike most kernels, uses mainly migrating thread model like Mach's. [Open Source, GPL]
