KolibriOS is an open source operating system with a monolithic preemptive kernel, video drivers, for 32-bit x86 architecture computers, developed and maintained by The KolibriOS Project Team. KolibriOS is a fork of MenuetOS, written entirely in FASM (assembly language). However, C, C++, Free Pascal, Forth, among other high-level languages and compilers, can also be used in user application development.
English, Russian and Deutsh versions are available.

  • Graphical user interface based on VESA.
  • Development kit: code editor with a macro-assembler (FASM) integrated.
  • Fits on a single 1.44MB Floppy (many applications are compressed).
  • Runs with 8Mb of RAM.
  • Pre-emptive multitasking, streams, parallel execution of system calls.
  • Supported file systems are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 (long names support), NTFS (partially, read only).
