The Sortix Operating System =========================== Sortix is a small Unix-like operating system developed since 2011 with emphasis on cleaning up traditional Unix design mistakes while retaining compatibility with third party software. Much third party software has been ported to Sortix and the system is now self-building. The Sortix kernel, standard libraries, and most utilities were written entirely from scratch. Links ----- For more information, documentation and news, please visit the official website: http://sortix.org/ You can also download the newest release and cutting edge nightly builds at: https://cs.au.dk/~sortie/sortix/release/ You can retrieve the current git master from our gitorious project page at: https://gitorious.org/sortix/ System Requirements ------------------- Sortix has low system requirements. It also works well under virtual machines such as VirtualBox and Qemu - however Bochs is not officially supported: * 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. * A Parallel ATA harddisk, if you wish to access it from Sortix. SATA is not supported yet. Documentation ------------- You can find the documentation for Sortix use and development at your local documentation mirror, for instance: The documentation directory in a Sortix system: /share/doc The doc directory inside the Sortix source repository: doc/ The official Sortix website: http://sortix.org/doc/ Building Sortix --------------- If you wish to build Sortix under Sortix itself, please consult the user guide: $MY_LOCAL_DOCUMENTATION_MIRROR/user-guide If you wish to cross-build Sortix from another operating system, please read the cross development guide: $MY_LOCAL_DOCUMENTATION_MIRROR/cross-development Documentation ------------- Basic usage of the system has been documented at: $MY_LOCAL_DOCUMENTATION_MIRROR/user-guide License ------- Copyright(C) Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen <sortie@maxsi.org> and contributors 2011, 2012, 2013.
