Sortix is a small self-hosting operating-system aiming to be a clean and modern
|
|
|
|
|
POSIX implementation. It is a hobbyist operating system written from scratch
|
|
|
|
|
with its own base system, including kernel and standard library, as well as
|
2016-10-01 08:51:16 -04:00
|
|
|
ports of third party software. It has a straightforward installer and can be
|
2016-03-06 16:22:53 -05:00
|
|
|
developed under itself. Releases come with the source code in /src, ready for
|
|
|
|
|
tinkering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has been in development since 2011 by a single developer and contributors.
|
|
|
|
|
Though the system is stable and capable right now, it is still early in
|
|
|
|
|
development, and a number of crucial features haven't been made yet. Releases
|
|
|
|
|
are made yearly and future releases will add features such as networking, SMP,
|
|
|
|
|
and USB that were skipped in favor of becoming self-hosting now.
