The Sortix Operating System

The Sortix Operating System
|
||||||
===========================
|
===========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sortix is a small self-hosting Unix-like operating system developed since 2011
|
Sortix is a small self-hosting operating-system aiming to be a clean and modern
|
||||||
aiming to be a clean and modern POSIX implementation. There's a lot of technical
|
POSIX implementation. It is a hobbyist operating system written from scratch
|
||||||
debt that needs to be paid, but it's getting better. Traditional design mistakes
|
with its own base system, including kernel and standard library, as well as
|
||||||
are avoided or aggressively deprecated by updating the base system and ports as
|
ports of third party software. It has a straightforward installer and is can be
|
||||||
needed. The Sortix kernel, standard libraries, and most utilities were written
|
developed under itself. Releases come with the source code in /src, ready for
|
||||||
entirely from scratch. The system is halfway through becoming multi-user and
|
tinkering.
|
||||||
while security vulnerabilities are recognized as bugs, it should be considered
|
|
||||||
insecure at this time.

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

System Requirements
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sortix has low system requirements. It also works well under virtual machines
|
|
||||||
such as VirtualBox and Qemu:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A 32-bit x86 (with SSE) or 64-bit x86_64 CPU.
|
|
||||||
* A few dozen megabytes of RAM - or if you are using a cdrom release with ports
|
|
||||||
then you likely need at least twice the size of the cdrom image.
|
|
||||||
* A harddisk or cdrom drive or support for booting from USB.
|
|
||||||
* A multiboot compliant bootloader if booting from harddisk.
|
|
||||||
* ATA or AHCI harddisk.
