Free freebsd operating software for linux

FreeBSD ports monitoring project is a simple solution for monitoring what has changed in installed ports on a FreeBSD machine. It works quite well and shows me what is happening on some machines which are manage not only by me. And leaves some trace after handy portupgrade -a command.

But when many ports are upgraded at once output from this script becomes mess and it is hard to read what was added/removed and upgraded. Well it happens when change relates to two ports, neighbours in alphabetical sequence. Diff output with my modifiers becomes unacceptable. So I rewrote it and yes, it is now in Ruby.

J Operating System is primarily intended for programmers.
Target Users:
- Hobbiests--You used to buy computers to do programming. They didnt do much else. Windows doesnt even come with a compiler, which is ironic since Bill Gates wrote BASIC. The "J" operating system is primarily intended for programmers. Ive attempted to lower the bar, so amateurs can contribute. I hope to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software.
- Researchers--Im sure many lab researchers still use DOS because they have to interact with hardware, which is difficult with Windows.
Main features:
- No security! You can access all ports, memory and disk blocks to your hearts content. When youre working with your own computer, security just gets in the way and makes things slow--I hate anti-virus and anti-spyware because they just slow things down. When you know you dont have a risk, have no secrets and do regular back-ups, who needs security?
- Uniformity
- There is no virtual memory and everyone is on the same address-map. You can easily communicate between tasks, passing addresses. Addresses start at a base of zero and, essentually, segment registers are not used.
- There is basically one language to learn called "C+" which is a little more than "C", but less than "C++". You dont need to learn a scripting langauge because everything uses this syntax.
- There is an extension of ASCII called "J" rich text which allows colors, links, graphics and various widgets in your documents. This format is used in source code, documents, help, menus, etc.
- Support for compressed, encrypted and contiguous files.
- FAT32, FAT12 and ISO9660 filesystems.
- Blazing-fast compiler which can recompile everything in 5 seconds. It doesnt optimize.
- All source code is included and its still around a Meg.
Hardware:
- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
- VGA graphics
- Some hard drives. Must be on the primary or secondary IDE controller and support LBA28. Drives of 120Gig are the limit.
- Some CD-ROM/DVD drives, including burning.
- Some floppies. Just 1.44Meg and not all types.
- No USB support yet
- No network support yet
- ASCII printers on the parallel port are supported.

Inferno is a compact operating system designed for building distributed and networked systems on a wide variety of devices and platforms.
Inferno was originally developed at Bell Labs (the research division of Lucent Technologies).
Inferno Operating System is a well-designed, economical operating system particularly suitable for use in networked devices such as advanced telephones, hand-held devices, TV set-top boxes, and many other embedded applications.
Inferno can run in native mode on an embedded system or in emulation mode under many different operating systems. Inferno has many features in common with Plan 9.
Cross-Platform Portability
Inferno can run as a user application on top of an existing operating system or as a stand alone operating system. Most of the popular operating systems and processor architectures are supported:
Host Operating Systems:
- Windows NT/2000/XP
- Irix
- Linux
- MacOS X
- FreeBSD
- Solaris
- Plan 9
Supported Architectures:
- Intel x86 (386 & higher)
- Intel XScale
- IBM PowerPC
- ARM StrongARM (ARM & Thumb)
- Sun SPARC
Inferno also runs as a plug-in under Internet Explorer version 4 and higher. Each Inferno system presents an identical environment to the applications, irrespective of the underlying host OS or architecture, allowing the developer to work with a truly homogeneous environment across multiple different platforms.
Portable Applications
Inferno applications are written in Limbo, a modern, safe, modular, concurrent programming language with C-like syntax. It is more powerful than C but considerably easier to understand and debug than C++ or Java. Limbo code is compiled into architecture independent byte code which is then interpreted (or compiled on the fly) on the target processor. This means that any Inferno application will run identically on all Inferno platforms.
Transparent Resources
Inferno offers complete transparency of resources and data using a simple but powerful namespace system. By representing resources as files and having one standard communication protocol, resources such as data stores, services and external devices can easily be shared between Inferno systems. A resource interface may be imported to the local system and used by the applications without them knowing, or needing to know, whether it is local or remote.
Security
High level security is an important part of the Inferno system. By using one standard protocol for all network communication, security can be focused on one point and provided at a system level. Inferno offers full support for authenticated, encrypted connections using a certificate based user identification scheme and variety of algorithms including:
- IDEA, 56 bit DES, 40, 128 and 256 bit RC4 encryption algorithms
- MD4, MD5 and SHA secure hash algorithms
A Complete Solution
Inferno is not only an operating system, it is also a complete development environment, providing all the tools necessary for creating, testing and debugging the applications that run within it.
- Acme IDE: includes editor, shell, advanced pattern matching tools & more
- Fast Compiler: with full syntax and compile time type checking

The Contiki Operating System is mostly known as an operating system for networked embedded systems. A few years ago, however, Contikis primary claim to fame was its Commodore 64 port.
With the help of JAC64, a Java-based C64 emulator developed by my colleague and fellow Contiki developer Joakim Eriksson, you can now experience the C64 port of Contiki 1.2-devel1 again, directly in your web browser!
Enhancements:
- Contiki now does dynamic run-time loading and linking of standard ELF files.
- Rime, a protocol stack designed for low-power radio communication, has been added.
- Cooja, a Java-based network simulator for Contiki is included.
- The build system has been reworked to allow for easy cross-compiling for many platforms.
- A new port for the Tmote Sky sensor board has been added.

DEX Extensible Operating System is an operating system specifically designed for educational and research use. DEX Extensible Operating System allows for the dynamic reconfiguration and customization of various system services using concepts found in extensible operating systems.
It aims to create an operating system design thats easy to understand while having features that are common in todays modern operating systems. Unlike other small operating systems, it is powerful enough to support simple applications that require multithreading and file management.
Its architectural design, with the help of Aspect-Oriented programming, enables easy modification and extensibility. It was developed in C and runs on PCs with 80386 processors or higher.
Enhancements:
- This version is released with a floppy image and the kernel source code.
- The release contains peformance enhancements, source code clean-ups, and a makefile for use with GNU make.

FreeSBIE is a LiveCD based on the FreeBSD Operating system, or even easier, a FreeBSD-based operating system that works directly from a CD, without touching your hard drive.
The only thing you have to do is to insert a FreeSBIE cd in your cdrom drive.
Enhancements:
- You may remember that FreeSBIE 2.0 was released on January 15th. It turned out it had some annoying bugs, one of which was especially serious, as it prevented USB mice from working. This fact led us, the FreeSBIE staff, to develop a bug-fix release, 2.0.1. All the bugs that have been pointed out were solved and this release has been more thoroughly tested, to offer a better FreeSBIE experience to our users. FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RELEASE (code name Black Mamba) is based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and packages. It contains more than 450 pieces and 1.3 GB of software, all in a single CD-ROM.

RoFreeSBIE Live CD is a LiveCD based on FreeBSD 6.1 operating system made in Romania.
Main features:
NEW FREEBSD PORTBROWSER
Includes Portbrowser, an efficient package manager with a simple way to install applications (more than 14500 FreeBSD applications from ports or binary packages).
SCRIPTS
Find under the RofreeSbie Tools a wide-range of powerful scripts. From Internet and antivirus configurations to all partitions detection, this is a must-have tool for average BSD users.
TEST YOUR HARDWARE
Testing your hardware compatibility with FreeBSD 6.1 before installing couldnt be easier with a Live CD/DVD like RoFreeSBIE.
SECURITY
High level of security thanks to UNIX solid as a rock, Clamav antivirus, F-Prot antivirus and a firewall. Feel safe with RoFreeSBIE.
Let others commercial operating systems lose your root password in 20 minutes or a kid at home install a trojan in your computer.
INTELLIGENT UPDATES
Because RoFreeSBIE is FreeBSD based, it uses intelligent ways of updating: cvsup and recompiling the base system or binary patches.
If you use cvsup, you can track daily changes on the FreeBSD base system and easily obtain a new FreeBSD release when it appears.
LINUX SUPPORT
RoFreeSBIE runs Linux applications with high performance and speed. Why should you have to choose between BSD and Linux, when you can get the best of both?
CLONE PARTITIONS
With clone.sh youll be able to make a compressed image of a chosen partition from your HDD and store it on another writable partition.
ROFREESBIE MEANS...
Romanian Free System Burned In Economy, its main version being English. KDE support is available in:
Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Russian and German. More languages will be included soon due to your help. Thanks.
NOTE: The first CD is for installation only and the second CD is for upgrading your installation made with CD 1 which will result in an installation just as the one from the DVD version.
The CD version was made by splitting the DVD version content so the people that dont own a DVD-ROM can install this operating system.
You can get the complete version of this operating system on a DVD version
Enhancements:
- Minor bugs corrected
