The Sortix Operating System
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
ports of third party software. It has a straightforward installer and can be
|
|
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 SMP, and USB that
|
|
were skipped in favor of becoming self-hosting now.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The system is documented as manual pages. Introductory system usage is covered
|
|
in the user-guide(7) manual page.
