Kaneton

kaneton is a microkernel project which aims at providing a very clear, extensible and powerful design. The kaneton project is part of the Opaak educational trilogy along with the kastor and kayou projects.- Branches :...

 microkernel

Microkernel

In computer science, a microkernel is the near-minimum amount of software that can provide the mechanisms needed to implement an operating system . These mechanisms include low-level address space management, thread management, and inter-process communication...

Amoeba distributed operating system

Amoeba is an open source microkernel-based distributed operating system developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and others at the Vrije Universiteit. The aim of the Amoeba project is to build a timesharing system that makes an entire network of computers appear to the user as a single machine...

kayou provides a powerful distribution-oriented interface which enables applications to take advantage of the resources of networked computers. kayou is still in its design phase hence not much information is actually available about its design or its implementation.

Note that the kayou project is part of the Opaak

Opaak

The Opaak educational trilogy aims at providing material for the teaching and self-teaching of operating system concepts ranging from low-level programming, to kernel internals to operating system principles and distributed system paradigms.-kastor:...
