We are looking for volunteers to keep the wiki of the project up to date. ^{I had to insert ru-language articles instead en, sorry.}

KolibriOS

Kernel type:	Monolithic kernel
Working state:	Active

KolibriOS is open-source operating system for x86-compatible computers, the kernel and application programs on a floppy disk of which are written entirely in Flat assembler.

Was based on MenuetOS 32, having achieved complete independence in the process of refinement. The OS uses its own standards and is not fully POSIX- or UNIX-compatible.

Most of the developers live in the CIS countries, the project also involves people from other countries (Belgium, France, Germany, etc...).

Help with the development of KolibriOS with your participation - this OS deserves to become your hobby.

Features

A monolithic preemptive kernel that is less than 100 kilobytes in size, complete with streams, parallel execution of system calls, a USB and TCP/IP stack.
Speed: Thanks to being (carefully) written in Assembler, it's very fast.
Size: KolibriOS is very small - the kernel and most of the programs fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk!
Filesystem support: Read/write support for FAT16/32 (with long file names), NTFS, ExFAT and ext2/3/4 (partial), read-only support for NTFS, XFS and CDFS(ISO9660, including multi-sessions).
Lightweight: Kolibri boots on any computer that has a Pentium (i586) compatible processor and at least ten megabytes of RAM.
Hardware support: A lot of the popular sound, network and graphics cards are supported (see supported hardware list)
Comes with a development kit (code editor with FASM macro-assembler integrated).
Support for high-level languages: C/C++ (GCC, OpenWatcom), C-- Sphinx. Delphi/ Oberon 06/ FreePascal, Go, BASIC, etc.
